Anybody wants to send bulk email to Pick people or otherwise had better
realise they're wasting their time. Bulk email doesn't work and your ISP is
just as likely to shut down your account while the rest of us look on and
cheer.
Take your WebCrawler and stick it where the monkey hid its nuts, Moron.

However, building guns is not a violation of any terms of service. How a
person chooses to use that gun is their choice. If you make it, they will
abuse it...
Even Richard's comparison doesn't quite hold up because some guns actually
do have peaceful uses. You're selling something which can *only* be put to
bad use, so don't peddle your sophistry to me.

I'm sure one or two sleaze-bags don't find it repugnant.

Writing it may not be. Writing an e-mail harvester as a purely didactic
exercise is quite interesting, though hardly taxing.
However, trying to flog one for personal gain, and explicitly encouraging
the abuse that it is designed to facilitiate is utterly reprehensible.
And it IS contrary to most major ISPs AUPs these days, not only to
send unsolicited bulk e-mail, but also to advertise such facilities or
encourage their use.

Hmmm - sound like a great strategies to me... Please rush me my priority

NOT!

How some people use software like yours is a problem! It seems that
these days the porn trade feels that culling email addresses from
usenet groups like this one is fair game where the users here are
adults. You don't think that's a problem? How about all the wasted
bandwidth and machine resources needed to pass around 99.99% junk. We
all end up paying for it with $$$$. I wonder what an ISP account
would cost if there was no junk email?
