Indeed, but remember that one about the infinite monkeys randomly
hammering typewriters..? The number of spammers may be finite, but
there sure are hell of a lot of them.

their place, it's likely that the slightly smarter ones survive and
write "How To Make A Fortune On The InterNet" books. (read: reproduce)
