Ig Nobel Prize-winner Sanford Wallace is back in the news. In 1997, Wallace was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in the field of Communications. The citation taciturnly identified Mr. Wallace and his early work:
Sanford Wallace, president of Cyber Promotions of Philadelphia — neither rain nor sleet nor dark of night have stayed this self-appointed courier from delivering electronic junk mail to all the world.
Numeous reports in the press say that Mr. Wallace has now become a prosperous pioneer in the spread of computer spyware. And that he is being prosecuted for again pursuing his proclivity. Phew!
