[edit] NPOV
Yes, lots of spam comes out of Asia. However, this article definitely takes an opinionated slant and does not cite sources to back up its statements, some of which are dubious (for example: ARIN, RIPE and LACNIC all have similar FAQ items about spam, which state that the they have no power to investigate or punish spammers and that the proper course of action is to contact the ISP whose user is spamming or to involve local law enforcement if applicable; hence an 'abuse' address at the RIR is demonstrably a useless technique for fighting spam. AfriNIC's spam info page is currently throwing a 404 so I can't check, but I'd be surprised to find any substantially different info there).
Any objections to seeing this cleaned up a bit? Ubernostrum 09:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
As you say, the entire middle two paragraphs are just a non-NPOV rant and should be removed or given references. 202.55.146.72 03:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
The spam claim (and e-mail) is probably non-true:

At least 43.8% of the spam comes from non-APNIC region countries, and 20% or so from unspecified countries in this article. I'm going to remove this section.
