It's the same as blogspamming, guestbookspamming, IM-spamming, etc. Just one more thing to make the internet just that little bit worse of a place for users.

Welcome to what this thread is all about. But the question is not whether it is bad for users (although some have debated its effects) the question is would you do it? The answer for you seems no, but I had about 5 people hit me up on ICQ with regards to this thread, and Monkey (as he mentioned) had people hit him up mistakenly too). Here is an example of what they said:
"i read your thread about spam and i must say im very interested and always thought about doing it. I got your icq# from rep monkey. Would it be possible to talk sometime about this? If so let me know a time,thanks."
I am not going to teach them shit. If I was goign to teach anyone I would teach my own brother or friend. I have nothing to gain from teaching them, but I find it interesting that so many people are willing to jump on board to fuck users around so as to make some extra coin.
