If in-house recruiters are bad, what about headhunters?

I've received emails from a headhunter 3 times within a month asking me to apply for the same position. After the second time, I notified them that I was perfectly happy with my current position, and was not interested (noting that I had already respectfully declined the week before).

They didn't respond.

A week later I receive the same exact email.

Of course none of this trumps a friend of mine who was asked if he was interested in a "fantastic opportunity" at the company he currently worked for. After asking if he would get a referral bonus for recruiting himself for a job he already had, the recruiter hung up.
