Are you guys serious!? Did you look at this page: http://www.projecthoneypot.org/bots_and_servers.php The ads placed there do not look all that encouraging:

Those ads come from google. I hardly think google are spammers. Lots of non-spammer pages have google ads.

Eric Kolve, author of SpamCopURI, works for classmates.com. Does that mean SpamCopURI is made for spammers?

Is there an antispam hall of fame? Eric should be in it ;) (Along with SA devs of course!)

I think you misunderstand Project Honeypot. It is as open and noncommercial as SpamCop. I fully believe that the people doing it are trying to go after spammers in a potentially very effective and relatively open way. And they're making a definite effort to share their data.

I know some of the people working on this project and I can tell you they're whitehats.

Thanks for clearing this up Jeff. I guess I'll have to get up out of my chair and move my lazy butt to inplement this today :)
