A single "spam"  can result in the delivery  of millions  of unwanted e-mail  messages worldwide,  costing the victims and service providers a total  of several hundred thousand dollars. That's several hundred thousand EACH! Consider it a contribution in lieu of dues. The cost  to  the  spammer is  usually  under  five  dollars. What, you think I used the high-priced email?  Hahaha (laughing all the way to the bank; it's a short trip).
