Imagine that! K.C. does need to spend more time getting a useful, nice looking site...less time on his spam. Too bad he sees the spam as more beneficial to his company than having a nice, well organized website. Looks as even the spammers don’t like spam. Imagine that!

I used to work for one of the... shell corporations? tax shelters? whatever... that are associated with Dakota Air Parts. They're all owned and/or operated by KC, and he <i>loves</i> to spam. <b><i>Adores</i></b> it. Had an email harvester running on the computer in his office. He has the scruples of a lawyer, an ambulance-chasing one. His hypocrisy in requiring you to validate your humanity is just the tip of the iceberg... and sadly, he's not clueless. He knows exactly what he's doing; he's a spammer, and he likes it that way. Just one sale is worth the collateral damage. Heh.
