The human gene pool should be incapable of producing enough idiots to financially support the vast number of spammers whose scat litters so many inboxes. So how do spammers make any money when no one with even half a clue admits to doing business with them? Are there legions of poverty-stricken spammers out there who are slowly starving to death?

Turns out, most spammers make money selling e-mail addresses to other spammers, who then sell those same addresses to others. It's like the legendary snake eating its own tail.
