Posted by michael on from the nuisance-factor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'About a third of people responded to a spam, seeking more information. And 7 percent actually bought a product or service.' Who are these people? Is this really what non-techies do with Spam? They can have my Spam if they want it :-)"

    You know, I'm just thinking aloud, but what if you sent them your spam? How would they know you had some? Maybe if you wrote a bot to scrape emails off the web, you could make a list of people and send your spam to all of them! I wonder if someone's thought of that already? Hmm, know any venture capitalists?
