It's a nuclear bomb approach to advertising. You can't target your advertising, so you drop the biggest thing you can and hope that your intended target gets swept up in the mushroom cloud. There's a sucker born every minute, so if you send out 1,000,000 spams, you'll probably find him.
Keep in mind there's usually two parties involved: the spammer, and the person selling the "merchandise", whatever it may or may not be. The spammer just gets paid to send out X number of advertisements. They don't actually care if the product sells, because the sucker law applies in reverse too. For every million people out there who want to hock some jar-of-crap, there will be at least one willing to pay for a less-than-reputable advertiser.
Personally, I think the only way to break the chain is a twofold attack. Since the majority of spam is for illicit medication:
1) Track down the suppliers. Drag them down to the river and beat them mercilessly. This is just for fun, since there's a million people in line waiting to sell to the hordes of suckers out there. Therefore:
2) After beating the suppliers and snogging them with a porcupine, seize their customer list. Send out a free bottle to ever person who has ordered in the past. On the outside, the bottle should say FR3E S @mpl \/I@gr/-\ (since that's what they're stupid enough to fall for). The inside of the bottle should be a dozen highly concentrated cyanide pills.
Voila! You've (literally) eliminated the customer base for the suppliers. If they can't sell anything, it isn't economical to spam. And as a law of happy unintended consequences, we've cleaned up the gene pool a bit.

OK Zen,
I've been moderator over at BJS for over about 18 months i think. I was moderating there before i really knew as much as i should, but i've learned a lot in the time that i have been moderating.
Previously i have been involved in both some team play and some advanced techniques plays, both of which have been fairly sucessful. I've had my greatest sucess through counting however and tend to focus most of my energy on that as i don't have the bankroll to play professionally.
Oh and Hitmeonemoretime, that's your account activated over at BJS.

To add to what halcyon was saying,
I find that the vast majority of spam is sex related. Normally catering to one kink or another, aka movie stars, bondage, golden showers ect ect.
These sort of posts actually do generate customers. Somehow, you always find one or two browsers who are dumb enough to click on these links, thinking with their d*** but all they'll get in the end is a virus.
