as a matter of fact, it does. the quantity of it, you know. if your 1 mio spam mails cause every receipient half a sec (on average) to discard, you've just wasted roughly a week of worktime. then again, 90% of your receipients will most likely waste much more time every evening *willingly* subjecting themselves to advertisement (and a little entertainment between the spots) on tv anyways.
