In Response To: re: Spam NEVER results in more business (Andy Waddington)

Andy - I'm with you 100% on the boycotts. I also boycott in-store salespeople who get too aggressive, or car salesmen who say "What will it take to get you into this car today?" (that only happens every 6 or 8 years, though). People who call during dinner to try to sell me windows & doors, I just tell 'em "No, we don't have any windows", & hang up.

However - they say that Spam is a multi-BILLION dollar business. Therefore, somebody must be buying. The simple fact is that if there were no money to be made, it would wither away & disappear. Not everyone thinks like we do apparently. So I have to add a caveat to your Subject line. Spam RARELY results in more business FOR LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES. I expect it results in 100% of the business for some shady characters, though.
