So what does Mr. Paul have to say about someone spamming in his name
through a botnet?

(botnet = a network of trojan-infected computers which are used
without the knowledge of the computer owners - usually to spam,
sometimes for worse things. Allegedly a Rooski-controlled botnet
staged a denial of service attack on Estonian bank websites a few
months ago in what was called the first cyberwar.)

Was this authorized by Ron Paul or by any employees of his campaign?
Was it an overenthusiastic supporter? Was it someone trying to demean
him by associating his campaign with spam and, in particular, spam
which uses criminal methods? If it was in fact associated with his
campaign has Mr. Paul's organization taken actions to prevent this
sort of behavior in the future?
