We spammers love you idiots who use spam filters. You were never going to buy from us or fall for our scheems anyway, so you do extra work to filter your e-mail and that way we are not bothered by you reporting us or attacking us. We are free to continue to waste your bandwidth and overflow your inbox, but you never see the spam and you leave us alone, to keep spamming those too ignorant to protect themselves. The complaints die down and we get what we want, the unknowing victims. What a great system.
Heck, our lobby group even points out to Congress how spam laws are not really needed, since people who really don't want the spam are free to filter it. That and a litte payola and we are free to phish for more victims.
Yea, keep "fighting spam" with lame filters, we love it. Thanks!
