Yet I have no contributions other than my own :-( Sheesh, I've got work to do, dropping everything and going on a big costing exercise isn't something people can just do in the middle of a tuesday. If you're going to make the argument that spam is cheap, you need to include the full costs of spam, you can't just cherry pick one cost such as "bandwidth", ignore the others and draw conclusions from that. Some people are affected by spam more than others. The person who has no email is obviously not affected, so you can't include them. The person who constantly uses email all day will be inconvenienced more than someone who never uses email and uses facebook instead. Someone who works for an ISP and has to tolerate endless complaints from customers all day about either the volume of spam they receive or the volume of legitimate mail that got stopped will be inconvenienced most of all, and you can expect the most complaints from them.
