I'm not exactly sure why people get bent out of shape by Spam. I find some interest, exotic/amusing/commercial/sociological/scatalogical from about one out of every 10 spam messages--not too far off the percentage for most email lists I inhabit ;-) and roughly the same percentage I get from "junk mail". I agree, that the lack of real cost in distributing Spam would, without some continuing counterpressure, result in it becoming overwhelming, but I must say I don't find it the problem others seem to, at least so long as I have my "d" finger intact...

I am starting to notice that my spam is coming from similar exotic locales. For example, one today came from "chinahot" but by way of ".kr". I can't even begin to guess where .kr is.
It's South Korea
So I am thinking of starting a spam collection, of exotic .somethings. Who knows, perhaps it will be worth money someday to a future Brewster Kahle. Would someone please point me to a list of Internet suffixes?
