How the spammers find you
I would imagine that time is a very important factor in how much and what kind of spam you get. The results of such a survey running for a month would likely be very different from the same survey running for 3 years.
This is offcourse because many spammers get their email-adresses, not from any of the sources mentioned in this article, but rather from other spammers. (indeed much spam is advertising "100 million fresh email-adresses") Thus, once an adress starts receiving spam it will only ever get worse, never better.
