Holidays

Do spammers take holidays? It's not something I would normally think about because if there's anything constant about my email it's spam - although different accounts do attract different items (but that's a topic for another occasion). But over the last week, I stopped receiving spam in my hotmail account - it's okay, it's back now - but it was interesting in that it made me wonder about spammers - did they work alone, how automated are their activities, do they take holidays? Do they feel rejected that most people just delete their offerings? of course, what I didn't think until now was - well, perhaps hotmail's found a better way to filter them out! If this is the case, bad news, it's not working any more! But thanks for the break!
