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
"zombie" computers to send out millions upon millions of spam e-mails.

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

Now that I think of it, I have noticed a certain decrease in spam; I
used to see my spam-box had over 900 emails (in the last 30 days), and
now it's only 400. I don't know whether that's related, but it's
certainly impressive.
