E-mail Begat E-mail

Spammers spam spammers. Direct mail marketing companies don't send ACME Direct Mail Marketing Kits through the postal system encouraging bored housewives to set up their own direct mail marketing operations of a wet Thursday afternoon. E-mail spammers, the sub-human, scum sucking lowlife butt-plugs that they are, do this all the time.

Hence there are I shudder to think however many new spammers setting up everyday, duped by other spammers who themselves were previously duped with similar with promises of 14 million free email addresses. I just received some spam which said
-E-mail Marketing is 20 times more cost effective than Direct Mail? (Forrester Research, Aug. 2001)
- Marketing executives recognize E-mail as the most effective marketing medium for customer retention? (DMA, April 2002)
- E-mail Newsletter campaigns are used by 66 percent of U.S. Marketers? (e-Dialog, April 2002)
So I think that we should seriously start an anti-spam venture and start sending out spam e-mails which discredit e-mail spamming as a method of marketing and when that fails to have any effect then we should send out some more spam saying that spam clearly doesn't work since you're all still spamming despite our spam telling you that spam doesn't work. I think.

We should also lobby Garnter Group, DMA and e-Dialog asking them to cease and desist trotting out such unhelpful research. I really hope that they have some good analysis that says e-mail spam sucks.
