SPAM operates on the idea that an infinitely-small portion of an 
infinitely-large group of
recipients can still produce a finite number of "successes!" The folks who 
send out this
xxxx don't need to update their message(s)...they send out a couple of 
hundred million
e-mails, so they only need about 1 out of 100,000,000 "successes" to make 
their racket
worth it...?!
