Strange request: Get me spam!
Jan. 17th, 2005 01:30 pmFor a writing project I'm working on, I need to collect spam. Lots of spam, the widest possible variety.
This turns out to be more trouble than I had expected. I got myself a pristine new Hotmail address, and started going around signing up for sweepstakes and taking surveys and such, but I can see it's going to be slow going.
So I'm going to throw this open to my flist: Can you help me get [e-mail address redacted] spaminated?
I don't want you to forward me your spam, because if I'm not mistaken, doing that will make you get more spam, and I don't want that. But if you want to sign up for something, or post the address somewhere for the spambots to get it, or anything you can think of, by all means do so. (In the unlikely event that anyone actually wins a sweepstakes with this address, I promise I won't snatch the prize from you.)
