I'm glad they're showing they won't put up with spam, but 9 years. Holy crap!
There's alot of people out there who do a hell of a lot worse things and got off with a slap on the wrist basically. This throws the whole system out of whack. If you had a list for the seriousness of crimes I'm sure most would have spamming near the bottom. I know I would, but if it gets 9 years in prison what the hell do the crimes at the top of the list get?. I just think it throws the whole punishment system out of whack. It just doesn't fit the system that's in place.

Meh, it's far too lenient, I say.
They should have cut off his hands.
And his nose.

"I'll be here... I'll be 'waiting'...here... I'll be waiting... for you ... so... If you come here... You'll find me. I promise..."
Damn, 9 years, that's harsh. Oh well, no one likes a spammer.
