Techdirt has an article this morning that discusses how
Lycos Europe is encouraging their users to run a screensaver
that constantly "pings servers suspected to be used by
spammers" and also suggests that "In other words, it's a
distributed denial of service attack against spammers by
Lycos."

The Techdirt article referenced is on Heise Online:

I'd be curious to hear what NANOG readers thoughts are on
this.
