| A Russian spam king claims to have the BlueFrog 'Do Not Intrude
| Registry,' and will publish it on the Internet. BlueFrog spams the
| spammer by sending do not intrude messages for you for every spam
| received. Blue Security's chief executive Eran Reshef claims that
| their registry is encrypted, and that it is an empty threat.

This is pretty interesting, but this part of the article made me
confused:
<quote>
"The Registry is encrypted," Reshef said. "He's using scare tactics and
outright lies to further his agenda. Our members are not in any jeopardy of
'exposure' since the spammers already have their addresses. That is why they
joined the Blue Community, to stop spam at its source."

If the spammers already have the address, what's the point of encrypting
them?
I also found this amusing: The article contains "The Blue Security Web
site, where users can sign up with the Registry and download BlueFrog,"
where "download" is a link. I clicked on it thinking I'd be taken to a page
where I can download the client, only instead to be taken to a page which
defines the term "download". Who, in 2006, would be surfing the Internet,
checking out a site called "techweb.com" and not know what "download" means?
