I know that's an Article of Faith amongst most people who track these
things, and it's certainly been my experience as well.

But isn't the real question "why do spammers lie about removal
buttons/links, never spamming again etc etc?"

Is it a facet of the spammer's personality?  If so, what facet?

Is spamming per se so addictive, that once you do it, you can't
stop?  If so, have any people who investigated the spamming/bulker
scene ever gotten addicted and become pathological spammers themselves?

I want to know, just in case it's the latter and not the former,
so that I can steer clear of spamming.

          As for you government types intercepting this,
          thanks for keeping us safe from our freedoms.
      Warrantless wiretapping is un-American and unpatriotic.
