And you think the spammers are paying that?

Not likely. Very few pay the posted rates. (Loki did, as I recall,
a few months ago... can't recall anyone else that has paid, and I
thought Loki was cool enough for that I mailed them a thank you note:
Loki has a ton of ways to place 'free' ads (ain't PR fun?), but they
chose to donate money to Debian.)

They're just spam.
