Spam mail business model
I get so much spam mail now that I wonder if anyone is actually making money by sending spam? What's the business model behind it. I assume enough people actually click on those stupid links and then buy the product or pay indirectly through the dialers. How much do the spam mailers earn through sending spam?
Update :. Check the comments - Frank "has been told" (yeah right :-)) stuff.

Why the Silent Penguin??
Penguins are dangerous types, you should stay away from them... Just read this:

and of course the NAAP (National Association Against Penguins) homepage: http://sigg3.net/blogger/naap

I have been told that a "research spam" on penis enlargements with one million recipients yielded 6000 product requests. Considering that most of them come from the US, there is obviously a market... :)
