Who actually responds to spam?
I have a gmail account, and the spam folder erases any spam more than 30 days old. There is roughly 22,000 messages in there. That means, if I didn't have any filters, I would be getting almost 1000 spams a day! 
Most of the spam doesn't even have words, or things that can be interpreted as words. Who is actually responding to these? If absolutely nobody responded, they would stop sending it. I know it's basically free to send mass emails, but you still need to hire someone to either write the program to send them out, write out the spam itself, maintain some hardware, etc. so there is SOME cost to the spammer.
I HATE SPAM!!!!

Re: Who actually responds to spam?
if the spammer gets a 17% response, then it is considered successful
