    New economic indicator

    I’m thinking of making up a new economic indicator based on the products being hawked in SPAM. I have noticed that there has been a big shift in the last week or so away from sexual performance products and towards fake qualifications.

    I am not sure if this is a leading or lagging indicator; are spammers reacting or anticipating market needs?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Never had one of those before...
