I hate spam as much as the next guy but these numbers are just utter bullshit. It is completely unrealistic to multiply the minutes wasted x the number of people recieving spam and come up with some 1000000 gazillion dollars per year estimate.
Along with hundreds of millions of other people worldwide, I waste my time by picking my ass from time to time but you don't see front page news crapping on about tight undies costing us billions of dollars a year.
If you remove the productivity losses from the equation spam really doesnt cost us shit.
