SEATTLE - A 27-year-old man described as one of the world's most
prolific spammers was arrested Wednesday, and federal authorities said
computer users across the Web could notice a decrease in the amount of
junk e-mail.

Robert Alan Soloway is accused of using networks of compromised

Wow. Bust one guy and decrease worldwide spam? That would be

the negative social connotations it currently has.....
