The Charge of the Light Brigade? (Score 1)

I though it was a bit of a no brainer that the spammers would win.

Blue security were/are dealing with people who thought they were above the law
Their servers got attacked ( if spammers control 50% of email messages i'm pretty sure one site wont be beyond their capabilities to DDOS)

It was a good idea but the only outcome was escalation and Blue Security didn't have the firepower to take them down

The following says it all (from http://poetry.eserver.org/light-brigade.html)

[snip]

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

[snip]

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
