Why does the programmer wish to remain anonymous?
The programmer is a person who has limited resources. Spammers are usually unethical scumbags who have little compunction with attacking those who have written programs that hit them in the pocketbook. Spammers have engaged in illegal businesses such as organized crime, child trafficking, writing viruses, selling counterfeit products, and so on. Spammers also have a huge advantage when it comes to bandwith and computer computer resources – they have stolen these from millions of computer users by infecting them with malware. People running SpammerSkewer should be protected from this threat due to the fact that there is very little use in going after an individual user. Unlike millions of individual users, there are about 200 spammers responsable for most of the world’s spam. Even with only a few thousand users running SpammerSkewer, it would be impractical for spammers to try to knock the SpammerSkewer network offline.
