I agree, we don't need to bother - not yet anyway.

90% of email on the Internet is spam - we still get small fry compared to
that.

If I don't check my email every day it takes AGES, getting on for 100 spams
per day.
Most of them caught by the spam filter, until recently that is.

Those pesky spammers learn what the filters trigger on and work round it.
Filter writers then change the filters to trap it, spammers change spam,
then round
they go again and again and again....

If only recipients would not respond the spammers wouldn't do it but
unfortunately
many people are too stupid or naive to ignore and delete.

A colleague of mine at work is in Internet security and, apparently, people
in the
UK are more likely to respond to spam email than anyone else in, at least
Europe. <sigh>

Rant over, feel better now. Sorry.
