The results are about the same as well. There are a LOT of people offering to send your commercial E-mail messages out on the Internet for you. But, without exception, MOST of the people who receive your unsolicited commercial E-mail will HATE you for sending it. And they're not altogether wrong. And it's also sometimes effective.
Most SPAM abusers get SOME positive response to their E-mails.
They just don't care how many people they offend to get those few positive responses. This is wrong. Sending unsolicited E-mail of a commercial nature offends so many people on the Internet you can only expect to be ostracized for sending it. In fact, so many people are offended by SPAM some have taken the law into their own hands. These people don't want to wait for legislation and they don't like most of the proposed legislation they've seen.
