I joined blue frog kind of late in their fight, around 1 and a half months before their "death", but still saw a remarkable decrease in spam, and a huge increase with their decision to stop. I reported every spam email I recieved and felt good about doing it, I could submit opt-out requests easily and fast.

I fully think it is our right to submit opt-out requests for each spam message, if they can send that much, they deserve to get that much back. Even if it is to the unlikely scale of being possbily considered a DoS attack, they are outputting the same amount.

Kinda wish some of the big guns (google, microsoft, etc.) would step up and along with blue security rebuild with a system that was more secure. I'm looking forwards to okopipi though.
