(I deleted some of my mail aliases earlier today which I no longer need, in an effort to counter the most recent spam wave, and while this reduced the number of spams by half, I noticed my main address gets most of the rest).
Normally I am against cruel and unusual punishments of any kind, but I will happily make an exception for our spamming brethren.
They must think , I desperately need it ..
I wonder who spread this (mis)information.
Anyways, I have cheaper substitutes, where I live.. My country does not have product patents for drugs, only process patents, although things are changing, courtesy WTO... ;-)

Just like that. I guess the spam software should replace the template variables, but the spammer made a mistake and it didn't work. I get tons of those with differeng things like %FNAME% %LNAME% and such. Every time I see this I chuckle.
P.S. I get about 150 spams a day! Thanks God for SpamCop.
That one really cracked me up, because not only do I have no idea what it's meant to make me think (and I didn't look at the message to check), but it's painfully circular reasoning as well!
Does anyone actually read a message that starts that way? Please don't tell me they do - that would be simply too much to take!
Next thing will probably be something like, "If we're not supposed to read spam, why is it sent by email?"
And I don't even want to TRY to answer THAT one! ;)
Sorry , I am a Vegetarian..
I seem to be getting hit with masses of spam recently, anyone else?
Got some spam yesterday titles Tribal Panties. Well, it made me laugh.

Hi, parasol mushroom
Refinance your loan, sin-bred
I opened one; it had an HTML ad that was probably a web beacon (d'oh!) then several paragraphs of ridiculous keywords like:

Strange, very strange.

Is it okay to quote emails that are only nonsense?

[edit reason] No [/edit]
Refinnance [sic] your loan, sin-bred
Who would go to the trouble to make a subject-randomizer, then give it mildly insulting variables to work with? Now THAT is hilarious!

I get at least 3 physical regular mailed letters per day offering a better home finance deal.
I get at least 5 telephone calls per week offering a better way to mortgage my home.
What I find kind of odd is that all of these people don't know that I own the property outright?
All of the above attempt to obtain my business through threats and immtimidation.......well that is plainly stupid as I own it already, it would also be stupid if I didn't!
So I have to conclude that the vast majority of loan officers in the USA today are either totally stupid or very desperate......either way.....good riddance to you!

Remarkably, it was in my inbox, and not in my Inboxer-Blocked or even Inboxer-Review folder. Inboxer used to be great, but the spammers seem to be winning. I though it was supposed to be able to learn new patterns but these stock tips make it through every time.
