Alan Ralksy, the most famous SPAMmer of all time, could 
be the most prolific mass-murderer of all time.

A slashdot article says he sends out a billion spams a day. 
Over the course of a year that's 365billion. Assuming 5 
seconds just to delete, that's
5 * 365billion = 1.825trillion seconds. The nominal lifespan 
being three score and ten, that's 70 * 365.24 * 86400 seconds, 
which is 2.2billion seconds. Dividing 1.825trillion by 
2.2billion, we get 826 lifetimes per year - more than two per 
day.

And this guy has been at it for many years now. To make his 
one life a bit more comfortable, he's taken the equivalent of 
thousands of lives

Is it any less evil because, instead of throwing away all the 
rest of somebody's time (which is, after all, what murder is), 
he takes little bits of time from everybody? Or is it because 
the little bits of death he gives everybody amounts to killing 
them softly?

Looking at it this way, Ralsky is the worst mass murderer of 
modern times.
