Yes, the unfortunate thing is that spam works. The 'public' complains and complains about it, yet it's the 'public' that perpetuate it by clicking and buying off the damn things.
Many sponsors do look the other way because, frankly, it's money in the bank for them.
Extreme John certainly makes a good point ... if you put a bounty on it, then some jerk will send out spam emails using an affiliates email addy, then report them to the sponsor as being "guilty of spamming".
What a world we live in, eh?
