This is I think because the cost of "internet time" decreases, while the
costs of goods sold by spam increases.  I see this only continuing, as we
build more economies of scale in networking.  T


I encourage people to stop replying to AccuSpam. I have had a long 
discussion with him personally trying to explain all the things that we 
have discussed before on this list and elsewhere. He doesn't use a logical 
train of thought and he hasn't been able to support any of his arguments. 
When you zero in on a point, he changes the subject to hide the fact that 
he was wrong.

Even the simplest concepts such as "increasing the cost of spam will end 
spam" are lost on him, as his comments above suggest. It is also unclear 
why he is factoring in the cost of spamvertising into COGS, when 
advertising isn't part of the gross profit equation. Also, how it is 
possible to "build more economies of scale in networking" is beyond my 
undertanding of what "build", "economy", "economies of scale", and 
"networking" mean. How these two concepts -- the COGS increasing due to the 
cost of spamvertising increasing, and "building more economies of scale in 
networking" -- interrelate is unclear.

I believe that he is a troll either by nature. If he is not, then he has 
been brought here by people that are trying to undermine our effort.
