He quits his job to make a living suing e-mail spammers...

Daniel Balsam hates spam. Most everybody does, of course. But he has acted on his hate as few have, going far beyond simply hitting the delete button. He sues them.

Eight years ago, Balsam was working as a marketer when he received one too many e-mail pitches to enlarge his breasts.

Enraged, he launched a Web site called Danhatesspam.com, quit a career in marketing to go to law school and is making a decent living suing companies who flood his e-mail inboxes with offers of cheap drugs, free sex and unbelievable vacations.

"I feel like I'm doing a little bit of good cleaning up the Internet," Balsam said. More...

Don't miss:
  1. "Spam King" ordered to pay Facebook 711 million dollars...
  2. Spam 'produces 17m tons of CO2'
  3. The most spammed country in the world? Switzerland!!
