To do otherwise would require:

     Examining the addresses.

     Actually removing some addresses from their "16 million opt-in" lists.

     Caring.

Besides, everyone knows that sysadmins only do it because they have no 
diploma to get a "real" job, are underpaid and will jump at the chance to 
help some poor old widow sneak millions of dollars out of the country, and 
can't get a girlfriend because some body parts are too small (and others are 
too big).  It's the perfect target audience.


I assume this isn't necessary, but...    :-)
