Any thoughts on why - and how spam came into existence?
It is not very wise is it? All it does is make people angry. I haven't asked for it - I get it still. These spamers - do they really think people will buy their products this way?

  Never buy anything in a can. It is not good for you.

  Marius,
  
  You know what they say about viruses. Create the virus and spread it. Then come up with an anti-virus. Sell it and make money. Similarly, spam everyone's email. Then create spam-protections and sell them. Who knows what some crazy people will do?
