Unfortunately, they only need something like one in every 100,000 to buy
something to make a profit. The other 99,999 just get annoyed.
I think for this reason alone I'd be happy to see an e-mail 'stamp'
system where you had to pay $0.01 or something for every e-mail sent. If
it cost the spammers $1,000 to sell one $49.99 porn subscription they'd
soon stop.
