There is some truth to that, BUT...
1. There is no market force to stop scriptspammers from pushing the button and adding even more pages to google.
The one thing that is absolutely certain, is that if we don't counterattack spam, spam will continue to grow and take money from our pockets.
2. By definition, every scripted spam network of 125,000 pages we knock out will increase the number of dollars in our pockets.
3. Google's new patent with it's ageing implications, if it is active, may level the playing field a bit, as may other changes in search technology.
Scripted "junk" content is an information problem that will be solved sooner or later.
4. It might warm the cockles of our hearts to be the ones putting the shaft to the spammers, as opposed to the alternative.

As far as I'm concerned, the primary issue here is the question of wether or not the spamreport can actually be effective.
It obviously _should_ be done, the question is _can_ it be done...
