My local CBS affiliate's web site has done this, with what I would presume to be success.
They link to a competitor station or local newspaper's site for a story they don't have coverage of, and on the way out, you get a little extra ad for their trouble. The external links are placed in similar fashion to their internal links... looks the same until you click it. Of course, the competitor's site opens in a new window, so you'll come back to theirs to continue browsing.
Do you reply to every email you recieve right away? Do you always answer your home/cell/office phone? It's not like you won't still be in control of who you communicate with and when.
Don't get me wrong, I hate spam as much as everybody else.... but I don't really feel like paying more taxes to jail someone trying to sell ink cartirdges, however ungodly annoying their inabilty to spell may be.
The ISP I work for just spent quite a chunk of change to get DSLAM's for this, and we were expecting about a 2 year turnaround before making any real profit. Now we only get a year of that before we have to pay out the ass AND offer voice services.
