Why consumers won't solve the spam problem

A pleasure to be back in the blogging and email saddle. Sure beats sitting on an Italian beach...um...

Anyway, the vacation taught me exactly why there is no hope that spam will die because the lack of response makes it uneconomical to send.

Case 1: We were in a large managed campsite in a pine forest. It has been a long dry summer. All the campsite signs and info folders stress the dangers of open flames and expressly forbid barbecues. And the news is full of Greece and the forest fire problem.

Does that stop people grilling their sausages on an open fire? Nope.

Case 2: Is anyone not aware of the dangers of sunburn? Is there anyone left who thinks they can sit for hours in the blazing sun with no sunscreen and turn a nice gentle brown?

Apparently so, given the vast number of people who ended each day looking like they should be diced, dipped in oregano and olive oil and dished up with mozzarella.

There will always be some unfortunate character, oblivious to every warning and danger sign, ready to buy those Canadian pills or stocks...the spam solution will have to come from elsewhere.
