Not to mention the recipients now have to dispose of all that junk mail they never requested in the first place ;-)<BR/><BR/>Most of my comments were in jest. But it is funny how capital letters now have the opposite effect. At least on me. Nobody I know writes in all "caps". So now my first thought on seeing them is "spam alert". I am more likely to hit the delete button, than actually read them.<BR/><BR/>Statistically, I guess it is not surprising that some small percentage of spam is successful. But some scams are so obvious that I am almost offended on principle. Take some pride in your work! Hmmm... then again, maybe it is better to have lazy and dumb criminals than smart ones ;-)<BR/><BR/>LeighcfSearchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564374520734454860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824660313967021040.post-5579720096510720472009-01-28T04:56:00.000-08:002009-01-28T04:56:00.000-08:00One thing is obvious... spam works and earns money...One thing is obvious... spam works and earns money. Otherwise it would not be done to such an extend. And actually people are used to it. Spam in form of printed ads clutters your house's mailbox often enough. (Not saying this is right, though. Not by any means!)<BR/><BR/>Regarding the capital letters, my guess is that they just want their email to stand out in your mail box. If their email is the only capitalized one, it will draw the attention of the eye, whether we like it or not. And with unexperienced or new internet users the chance that this creates success may be bigger.<BR/><BR/>Just guessing though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
