I think that I saw the same report. But I think that the actual statistic
was that one ISP (either AT&T or AOL) had seen no change, while the other
noted that there was a 10% increase in *offshore* spam.

The most damaging part of the federal anti-spam law was that it apparently
pre-empted California's own. The "spammers" trade group said their
members were concerned about the Calfironia law, and were preparing to cut
back. That is, until the fed law passed.

Thanks, Washington politicians!
