on the audacity of internet spammers

yesterday, I got spam which made it through my filters that was entitled:

“Do you hate Junk Mail?”

Today, I got the same spam again. The mail goes on to tell me how the sender used to hate spam too, but only because he thought everyone deleted it. But research shows that people read their email. What does this mean for me? It means there’s opportunity out there for me to make money off of billions of emails (yes, it says billions). Its NOT SPAM (they even capitalized it just like that) but a legitmate mass emailing for a product and buisness model that will allow me to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars by advertising my product through emailings to people who want and need it. In other words, since I look like the kind of person who hates Junk Mail, market research shows that I’m the kinda person who would likely love to send it.

Uh, yeah…

I’d write 1000 words of free flowing hostility on this, but I don’t really have anything to say.
