Default The Arithmetic of Spam

'MANCHESTER, New Hampshire -- A security flaw at a website operated by the
purveyors of penis-enlargement pills has provided the world with a
depressing answer to the question: Who in their right mind would buy
something from a spammer?

An order log left exposed at one of Amazing Internet Products' websites
revealed that, over a four-week period, some 6,000 people responded to
e-mail ads and placed orders for the company's Pinacle herbal supplement.
Most customers ordered two bottles of the pills at a price of $50 per
bottle.'

and

'But records on file with the New Hampshire secretary of state show that
Braden Bournival, a 19-year-old high-school dropout who is also listed as
vice president of the New Hampshire Chess Association, owns Amazing Internet
Products.'

Maybe some of you guys in the US would like to have a quiet word with Mr
Bournival.

cheers
