Email Spam

was the marketer asleep at the switch or is he really onto something

The RE: line read our first date, Remember.

The FROM line indicated it was from Boyd.

Even in my advanced years with senility setting in, I'm positive I never dated a Boyd. I wonder what the chances are that anyone on the planet ever dated someone named Boyd.

My surnameīs Boyd.....

I certainly dont recall dating lawman or sending out mass emails though! :)

Itīs actually a pretty common surname (traditional Scottish, and therefore fairly common American too AFAIK), and occaisonally used as a forename.

Im sure these "first date" spam emails must insert random names in there - i think ive had several copies with different names at the same time.

(although I do get around a bit.....)

Its a (reasonably) common Christian name in Northern Ireland. Could be that's why there are all the troubles there!
