7-28-2004 One in five buy something via spam

One-fifth of U.S. residents acknowledge buying products from spam purveyors, according to a Yahoo Mail survey of 3,100 Internet users in May. A third said they respond to spam

"Spam can be useful," says Robert Reinhardt, 30, a computer-book author in Los Angeles who reads junk e-mail containing stock reports.

Michael Breindel, 41, a computer consultant in Universal City, Calif., has bought plasma computer monitors and online greeting cards through spam.

Monique Smith, 42, a computer consultant in Arlington, Va., was looking for a satellite-TV service, and found it through spam.
==================
Wow, can't beat em, join em.

Anybody up for going in together on a Spam Start-Up Company???

You've begged for money on the internet before so this shouldn't be that big a jump for you. If I were you, I would get some help though. You've repeatedly proven that you are just not very smart and if any spammer was going to get arrested it will certainly be you.

Were such insults really necessary?
 
Personal insults are supposed to be not be acceptable.

That being said, I'm surprised so many people buy spam stuff. I tell ya, we need retaliatory spamming. 100x spams in response to every spam received.

No, they weren't.

UltraQuiet should do just that...be UltraQuiet instead of spouting off insults.

Apparently 1 in 5 Americans feel Spam is legit, they want it and they buy it, so who is not that smart???

Yes, well perhaps you can explain how this thread is "trolling?" It doesn't seem like anything of the kind.
