Self-fulfilling prophecy.

If they only get a few complaints then maybe so.  What we need is sheer 
volume.

The alternative might be to hit the site and delivery shed-loads of 
click throughs.  The spammer will be pleased.  Google will be pleased - 
right up to the time when the advertisers get wind of the fact that 
they're being ripped off and want their money back or at least decide 
that they're wasting money and take their business elsewhere.  Again 
volume is the key.  In the long term it has to be in Google's interest 
to deliver quality leads to their advertisers and encouraging this 
garbage doesn't do it.
