OT Question

Hey all,

Did a botnet fall over or am I just lucky?

spam has dropped dramatically here ~80% down. Not that I'm complaining
- just curious is anyone else is seeing the same.

Quite a bit lower, IIRC, for the last two weeks of Nov I was seeing about 
250+/day on my home box, whereas for yesterday and today:

Total:  127 reports in 7m 30s.  3.54 seconds per report.
Fri Dec  1 21:06:29 CST 2006
Total:  109 reports in 5m 50s.  3.21 seconds per report.

         Huh... I too have noticed a significant drop since yesterday's
         stock onslaught.  Without hard data available at the moment,
         I'd guess we are seeing a less than a third of what we were
         getting 24hrs ago.
