Spammers all live in trailers and eat KFC, right?
There is a popular stereotype of spammers as penniless, jobless wasters who dream of making it big and meeting a girl (see also 3.2.30 in part 3 of this FAQ, “Understanding NANAE”.) While some spammers are undoubtedly like this, many are not. In fact, spammers aren’t all that different from normal, regular people. In fact, spammers tend to _be_ normal, regular people. Spammers can come from any walk of society; so suit-wearing businessmen can be spammers, caring mothers can be spammers, your granny can spam and so can a kid wearing a baseball cap backwards. And not all spammers are fly-by-night one-man businesses either; some large companies have been known to use spam. In general the stereotypes, while amusing, can distract us from the important business of dealing with spammers as fellow human beings.
