Same as hoaxes and graffiti.  The knowledge of knowing that your 
message is being seen by thousands of people.  That one's been around 
for a while.  ALong with the guy looking for a time machine and a few 
others.

One more reason why the definition of "spam" should not include the 
word "commercial".

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
