Global spam dropped by about 66 percent on Tuesday night when two internet providers disconnected a single web hosting firm that was identified as the gateway for most of the world's junk mail. Presumably, they'll be back up in a couple of days, but still, pretty remarkable.In other Spam news, Ben Adler notes that sales of the stuff have shot up as the economy has fallen down, and thinks that's a shame. This would be a good time for folks to move to more environmentally friendly proteins, like beans, rather than moving to grosser, cheaper, meats, like Spam. SPAM DOWN! SPAM DOWN!
