Think of all the money they're making. Or someone, somewhere is making. . .
This is the response to Bayesian filtering. I think it's great because, by evading the filters, they have rendered themselves almost completely useless. It would take a pretty dumb individual to click the spam links below nonsense like that. Of course, the internet is MADE of dumb people.
I know that the response rate per spam mail has been getting lower and lower as time goes on and people become wise to the ways of spam. I wonder if there is a lower limit to that number, though. Will it stabilize on 1 response per 1M spams sent?
