Although I fully agree with your statement......I know that report twisted some facts and made certain people out to be things that they are not. So....I will be giving Python the benefit of the doubt in this case. Perhaps they did contact the guy and ask first. God knows the media doesn't know how to be subjective and tell the entire truth with stories like this.

As far as the story goes...At the end of the day, they found the spammer but they never seemed to care how the spammer actually got the specific person's email in the first place.
