		<description>I just can't wait to click on that Paypal link. 

On one hand their site states: 
"We all know that clicking the opt out link at the bottom can actually just make you the target for even more junk in your email box.  After all, if you didn't opt in to get it then why would you think opting out is going to work. Spammers often use this as a trick to verify your email address."

Yet they then go on to encourage you to BUY their program which they tell you will:
"open it, click through to the link and increase the spammers' cost of doing business."

So the authors are generous enough to let us PAY THEM money for software that by their own admission would effectively INCREASE the level of spam we receive. Sounds like money well spent.

I guess I just need to think long term. You know when (1) Spammers are bankrupt, (2)Spam is no more, (3) Spampires authors are rich, and (4) I've had to upgrade my ISP plan because all my bandwidth has been used up from visiting spammers sites.</description>
