[H]ardOCP:

Some lady, taking part in a experiment sponsored by McAfee, answered all her spam to see what would happen. The female participants received an average of 70 spam messages a day, men received 15 more a day than that. Only 70 spam a day? Ha! That would be a dream come true for someone with a high profile e-mail address. People wonder why we rage against spammers here, try getting 6000 spam a day…no kidding:







The idea of the Spammed Persistently All Month (S.P.A.M.) experiment — which fittingly started on April Fool’s Day — was to have 50 volunteers from around the world answer every spam message and pop-up ad on their PC. What would be the experience in 10 countries when everyday people, armed with a PC and e-mail account McAfee provided for the Global S.P.A.M. Diaries project, clicked through the spam and chronicled the results?
