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.
