Meet the Spammers

According to the Spamhaus project, a handful of people are responsible for 90% of the spam that clogs you in box. This is your chace to hear from them and what they have to say is quite interesting. If you don't think the filters and blacklists work, one spammer whines, "My operating costs have gone up 1,000 percent this year, just so I can figure out how to get around all these filters." Stopping spam is simply a matter of economics. When its uneconomical to send spam, people will stop sending it."

This spammer used to fix pinball machines. Pinball machines are out of favor now. He must know where to find lots of surplus pinballs. I have a very rude suggestion about where he should store them, unlubricated of course.
