What exactly is a spammer? I'm curious, because I have no clue and it would help me out to know.
(don't worry it has nothing to do with this site)

Man, I wish you didn't name threads that way, girl... and in bold to boot!
Spammers - spam mail... look it up: www.google.com

A spammer is someone that sends you "spam". Spam is a tinned luncheon meat that is generally considered at the lower end of the culinary treat tree and any distribution of spam in known to be very unwelcome.
Spam is also the nick-name given to "unsolicited junk e-mail". So when you get e-mail asking if you want an extra inch on the end of your dong, firmer bristols, if you would like to help a Nigerian businessman extract $10mllion for his deceased father's estate or forward an e-mail to five friends to get $10million from Bill Gates... that's considered "spam".
For those that don't use any form of spam protection, some businesses can get up to 40 or 50% spam mail, at an estimated costs in terms of time to filter, additional e-mail space or software to filter running in the billions of dollars worldwide.
Hence everyone hates the people that send these e-mails. Their a nuisance. So every one hates spammers.
Hope that explains it!
