Every so often my Yahoo mail account finds its Spam box being rapidly filled with a load of gunge supposedly relating to male impotence drugs.
We are not talking one or two here - that is commonplace. We are talking about 20 or so an hour. Something of an epidemic in its way.
The point is though that it is junk. Absolute complete and obvious junk. If I wanted such items I would make a careful search of the Internet for reliable suppliers, I would certainly not answer a mail with all sorts of misspellings and in your face rhetoric.
So would be the story with most people, I would imagine.
So why do these idiots (polite word) send this stuff? It is of no interest to the vast majority of recipients, it is the cause of a degree of nuisance value, and that is about it. I have to check the Spam queue every so often (Yahoo has the occasional flaw which allows important, properly delivered mail to find its way accidentally into the Spam box).
For the rest though, this exercise in sending out mass junk strikes me as complete stupidity in action. It may give some puerile youth some momentary fun, but surely they can find something better to do with their time?
