Where do spammers get all those email addys?

Hmm, whenever i get a new email address, it always starts getting spam within weeks. How does this happen. Does anyone know how the spammers make up their email databases? Do places sell their lists or something?

They also go through messageboards and pick any addresses they find.

im thinkin. Once your email addy gets picked up from a scavenger, it is sold to a bunch of spamming retards. Then when you try to get your addy taken off their list, it is removed from their list and it is sold to another spammerz list. In an endless battle.
