It is not spam… Of course it is!

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

We all are getting fed up with spam—it’s getting worse by the minute and there seems to be no ending.
Imagine my surprise when I learnt about the opinion of a spammer that it is only spam when he think it is!
He said: I personalized every single letter I sent out—that is not SPAM!

Yeah, right.

Does it matter to you how personalized the offer for Viagra is—or do you consider it spam no matter what?

Personally I hate those the most that sent an e-mail to every single e-mail address on my server and then claim it wasn’t SPAM—because the e-mail contains some legal disclaimer, some “personalization”, …

What’s next?

The bank robber made the withdrawal at an unusual time…
The thief only “borrowed” the stuff…

    Annoying indeed, and I don’t even get why people try to personalize it. Are there seriously still complete morons walking around on the face of the Earth actually going in on it and buying the Viagra and other crap they have to offer?

    Luckily more and more is starting to be done to target the major senders of spam but it definitely is far from enough yet, can’t wait for the day of having a spam-free internet but it’ll probably remain a utopia.

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
