I wonder how many computers it would take to run the Internet if spam was gone. I don't get a lot of regular email, true, but the spam that gets by my yahoo email's filter almost always outnumbers the real emails I get by an order of magnitude. The problem is, spam's so cheap, all they need is one person to fall for the crap, and it pays for itself.
How many resources are wasted creating and sending and blocking spam? Lots. I hope that work at least grants some side benefits to the Internet.
