I am curious about the logic of companies that (must) pay the spammers to send their myriad (clearly) spam messages...

How can they NOT understand that it does NOT encourage people to buy from them, and in fact, achieves the exact opposite by alienating anyone who might have become a client simply by PISSING THEM OFF!!!

And WHY, OH WHY, can we not have a program developer come up with a tracer program to track these assholes down, and spam them into oblivion?
