I wouldn’t order from a spammer, no way no how, but I have used an internet no-prescription pharmacy during a long period of unemployment/uninsuredness.

The seemed fine, being simply the products packaged for the Australia/New Zealand market. The expiration dates were reasonable, except in one case where they expired within a month or so. The meds (Paxil, actually) certainly appeared to be genuine, since they had the same unpleasant effects if I forgot to take a dose.

Plus, there’s something neat about getting air mail from Vanuatu.

BUT – I did a degree of research beforehand to check for complaints on the internet. I went into it cognizant of the risks, and remained watchful in case quality dipped.

You forgot the most important reason that the Calculator doesn’t order his drugs from SPAMmers (call it 0 or Prime since this is DC, but I guess it is 3B):

The Calculator is a SPAMmer. The Calculator is THE SPAMmer. Anytime you get SPAM, the Calculator is there. Everytime you consider sending money to Nigeria, the Calculator is there. Everytime you have to validate your credit card numbers so that Ee-Bae dodn’t charge your for something you didn’t order, the Calculator is there. Everytime some Script Kiddie launches a DDOS against your server because you didn’t bow to his L33T-ness, the Calculator is there. Everytime a commenter suggets that your site could be improved by a link to “hotbutteredweasels.tv”, the Calculator is there. Absolutely anything EVIL happens on-line, the Calculator is there.

He’s like Bill Gates, without the meds. And even without the meds, the Calculator isn’t crazy enough to trust Bill Gates.
