Ledswinger Your post highlights the real mystery ( to me anyway). The tidal wave of annoying adverts, unsolicited emails and general spam ( including 'phone calls) must actually get customers to buy stuff - or the advertisers wouldn't bother with any of that. Who are the idiots who feed this market? Where are the people who think it's sensible to respond to an annoying flashing banner, or buy from a random double glazing email, or who trust a PPI salesman who phones them out of the blue? Why are these people not being looked after?
