Yes. definitely.
P.S. Actually, Spamford Wallace never got into spamming mailing lists
directly. There was however one real hardcore thief/jerk named ``Krazy
Kevin'' who used to exclusively spam mailing lists and nothing else.
He was always selling discount magazine subscriptions. Authorities in
New York State finally caught up to him and successfully prosecuted him
for fraud and I think he even ended up doing some jail time. It seems
that people who sent him money for magazine subscriptions often only
received one or two issues of their requested magazines and then the
subscriptions mysteriously stopped coming.
Another good argument for never buying _anything_ from a spammer.
