The longer I know Barry, the less I think he's a paranoid curmudgeon
and the more I think he's just remarkably ahead of the curve. (Or in
other words, he's going to fall off the cliff first.)

A new variant of the Sobig virus started spreading on Wednesday,
raising the specter that spammers will have a host of new PCs to use
as platforms for sending bulk e-mail.
Initial analysis by antivirus companies indicated that the
mass-mailing computer worm, called Sobig.E, doesn't have a malicious
payload. However, e-mail service provider MessageLabs believes
spammers will use the virus's mail program on victims' computers to
send anonymous messages.
"This is almost certainly being precipitated by a spammer that is
trying to create more open relays to send spam," said Mark Sunner,
chief technology officer for the U.K.-based company.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
