Spam

[resonant]

Spam subject line of the day: "I made my wife scream like a teenage slut!"

(I'll bet he installed a T1 line for her.)

A lot of spam filters filter according to certain keywords. That's why they started to spell porn like 'Pr0n', to get past the nannys and the filters.

Oh, yeah, I know -- but it's a little like the irritation industry trying to get around the Do Not Call lists. As Dave Barry suggested, it seems incredibly stupid to go out of your way to throw *more* annoyance at people who already don't want to do business with you.

And from what I understand, there are new 'smart' spam filters that catch w.o.r.d.s with stupid punctuation that's one of the other dodges.

I suppose it's ironic to be so annoyed by that crap, considering I'm *writing* stuff that would make a Fundie turn puce, but the spam is not only trash, it's such *poorly written* trash...
