I agree wholeheartedly to both of these comments. I see a lot of bumping to push spam down.
To me, spam is a little like the whole broken windows theory - you see a lot of spam (or broken windows) on a board (neighborhood), and you think "this place isn't someplace I'm going to want to hang out - it's all probably run down and out-of-date."
I wouldn't be surprised if the spam is keeping pnms and moms away. There are many days when GC doesn't at first glance look like a reputable source of information.
