SpamWorld.Com™

When they say "spam-free" they're using a marketing technique known (to quote Jon Carroll) as _lying_.I have a different idea.
Come up with a site called SpamWorld.Com™.
The whole purpose of the site is to deliberately subscribe to as many channels of spam as possible.
Then index all the spam into a search engine, so people who are truly interested in spam can get all the information about it they could possibly want.
There would be a news page that showed the truly interesting spams every day.
Naturally spammers could pay money (lots of it!) to get their messages on the home page.
There would be a disclaimer of any editorial integrity right on the home page in red for all to see.
What do you think?
