an eddy in the bitstream
I know that these random email spams are just fishing to get past the bayesian spam filter algorithms, but such poetry:
Like you I get 100s of spam messages on a regular basis. Owning your own domain is like raw meat for the buzzing spamming hordes. So I started this little corner of peknet for memorializing the best and worst of what I delete from my mail. (Caveat: my spam filter ensures I don’t see most of the spam; I’m trusting that only the most entertaining and life-like mail actually reaches my inbox. Kind of a pre-screening for the Hall.)
At long last, a completely honest spam this morning. Subject line: xmas crap.
So you got drunk one night with your buddies and watched a horror movie and were reminded of how good that one actor is and how he’s in so many of those slasher movies and just doesn’t get the credit he deserves. And in your fit of intoxicated and scary enthusiasm you googled for his name and found an email address where you could pour out your fanly (manly) adoration.
Trouble is, that email address you found wasn’t his. It belongs to a friend of mine who happens to share his name. And now your drunken love letter is laid bare to the world here in my spam hall of shame (though to spare you some of that deserved shame, I’ll not publish your name or email address).
Dude. You rule hardcore.
Apparently, I have help I never knew about. A whole team in fact. Got this spam this morning:

Insidious. Lots of unsuspecting folks will bite at that one, if it happens to come from a real ISP (which peknet is not). There was even a virus attached as a zip file. Do these people have anything better to do?
