    So if you wish to get on my bright side, do not use the term Spam or its derivatives use the term(s) unsolicited [ commercial | bulk | junk ] email.
    Look at the e-mail address and tell me I am not the only person to find this ironic.

    Please?

    :-)

    Probably for the same reason they think you
    • are heavily in debt
    • have a miniscule penis
    • are impotent
    • have no job
    • have no college diploma
    • have no insurance
    • need prepaid legal representation
    • need to investigate/track down various people in your life
    • In short, the spammers are advertising... to themselves!
