I can understand spammers selling mortgages and viagra and all that because there’s a continuing market for it, and they only have to get a very small hit rate of fools to make it worthwhile to spam everyone. But haven’t the frelling 419 scammers managed to find all the gullible suckers already? Or is there an extension to P T Barnum’s aphorism: a new sucker logs onto the Internet every minute?

It’s probably even less than that... but it’s just too easy to do bulk spamming right now, so it’s still worthwhile for the slime.

Given the nature of spammers, though, we’ll probably just be getting a lot more spam in languages we can’t read.
