CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam
Carnth writes "CDT has released a new report based on a six month project entitled "Why Am I Getting All This Spam?" The results offer Internet users insights about what online behavior results in the most unsolicited commercial email and also debunk some of the myths about spam." A very good report - read it. There's also a story about yet another sleazy spammer in Ohio.
Thats why we're all posting replies as to a modded down post - this whole thread will be ignored.

Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
I was getting more spam because the other penis enlargement products I ordered don't work.

Not that I'm complaining but I don't receive email at my primary account anymore. I use it for a lot of things and at one point I was receiving spam constantly. I used to request a removal from the system and then I'd still get spam from certain spammers. What did I do? After some stealthy research and a ton of time spent, I was able to find legitimate emails to people and threatened legal action of harassment or something. I know that's a b.s. thing but the last thing anybody wants to see is the threat of a lawyer regardless of what they would be charged with. I tell ya, I don't know about you but we should all do what the guy in that commercial does; fly over to the company headquarters and smash the phone of the telemarketer. Just a final thought: SPAM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! FREE INTERNET PORN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
