One of my first jobs at Microsoft was hunting down spammers. It was so depressing, because it was always someone like this.... someone 17-20, living in a trailer, with their girlfriend's mom that was trying to get money for surgery/pet surgery/mom's medicine, etc.

This is the reason spamming will be on forever. There is always some idiot that figures out the correct keyword to search for ... downloads and installs a bulk email program and begins spamming hoping to make money. Then they get scared because it is illegal now, and try to sell it to chumps. Its a never ending circle of idiocy.

Doesnt anyone else find it amazing that a program that can turn those sort of stats cannot even put $150 in his pocket? Or is it the fear of being put in jail?

Just my opinion.
