I might end up buying the product without knowing they also marketed it by spam.
Will you buy penis (or breast) enlargement pills ? (not approved by the FDA). About 'losing weight methods' it was already a plague before the spam era. The less people are warned about such 'crappy rubish stuff', the less they will buy them. Advertising installs the need.
Spam is effective because it reaches millions of people who are not installing these filters on their systems.
It was the same situation against virii in the first ages of Computer Science.
Now more and more 'lambda' users are aware that a computer needs some tools to counter the drawbacks of internet:
Antivirus,

Antispam

Who came up with this system, some wierd Frenchman?
Of course !
Just after ur ancestors inspired our, we made metric system in our country just after our revolution (1789~1799)
they choose an easier system (decimal) than the hundred we had through the french realm.
1m was 1/10 000 000 part of a terrestrial meridian. Calculated by some of our most stupidiests mathetimaticians/geometers of that time (among them Laplace & Lagrange (Not ZZtop tune))
1kg was the weight of 1L of water
Thoses units was shaped in iridium as etalon in every day life.
Some adds in the metric system was also made by the well known idiot "Gauss" about the magnetical unit.
Our deer neighbour of the "perfid albion", contributed to the metric system too.
