I think what he was trying to say is that if the sender ID was spoofed (as in the case of 99% of the spam we get) you would not be able to easily trace the origin.

If that were practical, we would have a lot less spam in the world.

If sufficient resources were spent, and there were ongoing instances of the email, the source could be found.  (They won't do it for you or I, but given enough reason, they could find the perpetrator.)

I agree with your point.  If I had boatloads of tax money at my fingertips I could make things happen, too, but the people that could do that dont always have the purest motives or the interests of the average person in mind.
Given that, it's easier to just slaughter the small prey that got caught in a trap than hunt down a real predator when one kill is as good as another.

Hello. Thought I would stop by to say hello.

Working on my site with upgrades for the forum and a new template for the main, with all the bells and jangles.

Even have the Governors picture up. I plan on putting a few law makers pictures up also.
