And the strained legal reasoning in that reminds me of the old law
school hypothetical: Suppose you, I, and a spammer were in a desert.
I replace the spammer's water with deadly poison. You then, not
knowing I did so, pour it out on the ground. The spammer then dies
of thirst. We're both hauled into court. I argue that I'm innocent,
since the poison I put in the spammer's canteen ended up being poured
out on the ground. You argue that you're innocent, since what you
poured out was deadly poison, not water. So which of us, if either,
does the court award the anti-spam medal of honor to?

Niether. But both are guilty of ATTEMPTED spammercide.
