Spam Flattery

1 AM June 10, 2004

Of all the email spam I get, the flattering ones are the most amusing. This one had me snickering for half an hour:

I visited your web site earlier today

(www.cardboard.nu/priv_stats/usage_200312.html) and I just wanted to congratulate you on a well presented, and informative web site.

It’s not often that I come across a web site that offers a wealth of quality and hard to find information about Software. I particularly liked your web design.

In order that you might appreciate the full depth and breadth of the insincerity conveyed by those words, I invite you to visit the link to which my spammer refers www.cardboard.nu/priv_stats/usage_200312.html. (Even if you think you can guess what’s there by the URL, click it anyway, because it’s not what you think.)

I’m just so glad that my spammer found that page “well presented, and informative.” I put so much effort into it.
