And that would be correct thinking ;-)

Since I first time noticed this spamming of fora I keep asking myself,
what idiots it must take to think, THAT might be a way to sell
anything to people by harrassing them.
As far as I know there's only VERY little sold by spam at all. But
spamming fora of synthesist with mobile phones, gereatric products...
There really seem to be people even more crazy then WE are.

It's the big numbers. If 1% of the people buy something from a message
which has been spammed 1 million times.. It still is a nice figure of
10.000 people buying something.

Considering spamming is relatively cheap (hear say, can't verify :P) and
easily done... just a 1% response is enough to keep those people up and
running.

Ok, so maybe I'm of the mark with my 1% guesstimate, but still, the
secret lies in the numbers.

What I did find funny from that message though, that it came from a
yahoo address. Ofcourse, it could be faked (haven't dug into the
mailheaders yet), but still, it shows a nice double standard by yahoo.
For some reason my mail address keeps bouncing because the domain gets
blacklisted, but alas, yahoo is sending/relaying their own spam, whilst
prohibiting messages reaching me.

In fact sometimes it could be the opposite .... a kind of  "immunologic 
reaction" !
