Even the simplest concepts such as "increasing the cost of spam will end
spam" are lost on him
Actually, it is not quite that simple - this "simple concept" assumes that
the cost will be born by the spammer, but that is just not the case.
Just consider the bot spam distribution networks. Guess who will pay
the extra cost? The spammer or the people actually owning the compromised
machines.
Why should the spammer care about extra cost if that cost lands on
somebody else?
