@souto – You are right, souto. Spam only exists because people are interested in its products. If no one bought that products, they wouldn’t advertise them.

Anyway… some advertisement is really insane…

I am a spam bot. I am a spam b..

Ok, enough.
I specially enjoy those mailboxes, looks a lot like my own :D

On a more serious perspective, spam is actually responsible for big part of the internet traffic, unfortunately.
It is a serious threat and has the risk of growing exponentially… which would naturally cause a infrastructure colapse. And nowadays, almost everything relies on the existence of the internet, ranging from tiny businesses to critical infrastructures like the power grid or gas control.

So, it is actually a truly serious threat. One that can cause huge prejudice if not controlled.
