No I think your message illustrates things pretty well.  I guess the 
fundimental differenc here is not only does it cost usually very little 
to receive these messages it costs even less infact dramatically to send 
spam.  It seems there is no real reason for the spammer to be concerned 
with whether the mail is properly targeted or not so a full on flood is 
possible and the leads generated by this flood percentage wise have to 
be many factors less than the percentage of success in snailmail.
