It's either lucrative or > fulfilling, and malice, if the latter. That's precisely my point. I don't think it is profitable, and therefore at a reasonable expense to us (one of us makes up a question every couple of days) we can make the tracker an unprofitable target for spammers, and probably avoid most spam. There's ample evidence of malicious behavior by spammers who feel threatened or thwarted, though.
