I don't pretend to knowledge of the spammer world but I would think it much like the pyramid sales world.

The actual spammers themselves are often the most duped of all, desperate to recover their ill-considered commitment of time/money, willing to go to illogical lengths, employ entire work weeks and deploy any acumen they have to discover some sort of profitable method of breaking through.

Who could be more evil than the little rats? The big rats who are spamming them into their sad and increasingly desperate situation.

I claim no special knowledge of the spammers, too - but I do know that HUGE amounts of money are involved. Greed is one of the most seductive temptations there are, and open-source software is a way I see hope coming for the human race.

Buckminster Fuller wrote that (paraphrasing) It will become a privilege to be allowed to join a team doing "work", and no one will need fear that their basic needs will not be met. I think he may be right - he was right about a lot of things, though not all.

Cheers!
Krishna

@ Harry Kuhman, Thanks for that unfortunate information about the sad depths of spamming.

Re: "Bucky" Fuller, haven't heard his name mentioned since the previous millennium! Nice to think of him again.
