What REALLY makes me wonder, is how the heck do these billions of "garbage" spam messages pay off?

Clearly, they must, because they keep coming and in fact are accelerating.

But I get literally hundreds of emails that are gibberish and cannot even be replied to. Some may contain valid web links, I don't know as I would never click one even if they did.

I even get 10-15 per day on my cell phone (which AT&T claims they can't stop, but that's another story.)

Everyone complains about spam, yet the easiest way to get rid of it would be to simply stop buying their crap!

I also agree that most print, TV and radio ads are "noise". But keep in mind the B2C world is completely different from B2B. For some products, the shotgun approach works fine. For others, it is a quick road to bankrupcy.
