Spam is something we have to live with.

The problem about spam has been with us for years. There were many reports saying that millions or even billions dollars were lost due to spam. Some even tried to find a way to stop spam. The costing included the time of workers reading spam. Well, human is not robot and I do not think anyone can work non-stop for the entire working hours. If there were no spams, one might have something else to relax.

Of course, it is the most efficient and economic way to promote commercial or political cases. Spam does not consume any substantial materials exceed the bandwidth and perhaps the need to build more wires. No matter how, spam is environmental friendlier than any other means.

The latest information, "New twist as spammers offer to help companies cheat the stock market" indicates that spam is now employed by finance sector or perhaps criminals now move to the stock business. Some may agree with me that the only difference between fraud and stock is the commodity only. Both are the 'small fishes eaten by bigger fishes'.

May be a new name is needed for spam so that the same skill and action can be formally taken as part of the marketing and investment technique. Alternatively, we can have a certification for those who want to use email or spam to promote anything that cannot be taken as illegal.
