Poll shows some look forward to reading spam!

It's been pointed out over and over again that if no one ever bought from spam, there wouldn't be much of a need for it. USA Today has managed to track down a few of the people who keep spammers happy and keep the rest of us miserable.



One-fifth of U.S. residents acknowledge buying products from spam purveyors, according to a Yahoo Mail survey of 3,100 Internet users in May. A third said they respond to spam.



In Japan, nearly half of 3,200 e-mail users polled by Yahoo said they send angry replies to spammers.
