Thanks Slashdot: Junkie loves his spam:

Mr. Soto’s daily spamfest starts after he gets home from his $40,000-a-year job as a building supervisor at NYRE Management, a real-estate firm that runs Manhattan apartment buildings. After dinner with his wife, he sits down in the leather chair in his home office and starts opening spam. He typically goes through 50 spam pitches before he finds one that’s enticing, he says. He then pores over the pitches he has culled, winnowing them down to the must-haves.

Amazing that anybody would rummage through the slush like this guy, but here’s proof that these people are out there. I do like buying stuff online too, but I don’t buy from — and rarely even open – unsolicted email. It’s sort of a principle thing.
