Long ago, I decided that if it was going to be impossible to stop getting spam, I ought at least to make the best of it. Therefore, I have pursued spam not only as a field of study, but also as a source of innocent merriment.
On this page, I have put together a collection of links to pages that describe both particular spam messages and spam rackets in general. There’s some dissection of the spams, but the emphasis is on what the spams are promoting and in general how they go about it.
