Do the Math

Techdirt links to a story that says:
    ...20 percent of U.S. residents admit buying products from spam purveyors.
Techdirt also links to a story that says:
    The US has a hardcore group of people who simply aren't interested in using the Internet. Around a third of US adults have rejected the Net, causing researchers to split them into two distinct groups.
That would seem to indicate that 1/3 of the people in the United States connected to the Internet buy things from Spam! Well, it would, except:
  • By 20 percent of U.S. residents, undoubtedly they meant respondents to the survey.

  • It's unclear whether "spam" means opt-in e-mails and e-mails from companies with which the users already have an established relationship.
Other than that, the stories are sensational!
