I thought this group was about woodworking. I'm not terribly

Joe G This is an unmoderated newsgroup as has been reiterated countless times. If you seek a moderated group please look up the Saw Mill Creek woodworking group and join. They stay on topic and have really helpful advise. It may meet your needs. You may come to enjoy both. |

They have to make money on this or they would stop spamming, right? You'd think, wouldn't you? The thing is that the cost of spamming is so low, that they don't need more than a very small response rate to be making money. The required rate is orders of magnitude lower than any other advertising medium. Set Mom & Dad up with internet access last summer. They didn't get too much spam and I warned about responding to unknown e-mails. Unfortunately, one of those spams purportedly came from JC Penney, a place Mom shops, offering a $10 gift card for response. I think Mom got a pretty hard lesson on the kinds of things being sold over the internet. Spam jumped to 100+ e-mails a day. I had to change their e-mail address and disable the old one. The good news is that this was a small matter (Mom and Dad are thankfully very paranoid regarding their finances, so I'm not worried about them responding to any Nigerian scams) and they both emerged much more internet savvy from this experience. My point is that even a live e-mail address is apparently considered of value, so some of the money comes from just harvesting addresses. -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |

Sell 1,000 addresses to 100 spammers at 2 cents each and I guess it's worth it.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
