I woke up to a very full mailbox because someone had used my address as the return on a mass spam to many, many Australians. I’m still getting bounces. I learned from this two things:
Actually, anon comments. It looks like a failed spam attempt, since it was on a post about pharmacies and prescriptions and is typical blogspam, but without the payload: where’s the link to the spammer drugs site? Perhaps an extremely earnest Indonesian teenager really does admire my LJ this much!

I like this one partly because it’s simultaneously from Joaquin Daniels, 490stanislaus, and John Darnell. Also because of the syntax. Any guesses what language was the original? I’m not sure I want someone to love me Heepss, either. It’s also kind of hard to figure out at first what the point of the thing is. I assume that if you send mail to that address they try to rope you into a faked-up work-from-home envelope-stuffing scam, but this is an elaborate envelope for the payload.
And this just in from “Tanya”:

Dear Mike:
What is enlightenment? Enlightenment is that which is already here. Today, the disciple has written his own koan.

The spammer who wanted me to buy his $177 “Harmony Chip” that fixes everything has responded to my post about his spam.
Shamyce Nathaniel would like to let me (whom she thinks is named Rollin Keaton) know that:
Love isn’t just for the smart of talented, but for all the amimals God created
I’m glad that’s working out for your, Shamyce, but I didn’t really need to know about the illiterate bestiality on Planet Halflife. Keep it to yourself next time, will ya?
best,
Rollin
Susan J. Sneed says: “lose the anglicise”. But Susan, shouldn’t you lose yours first?
Octane H. Hippies, Simplified A. Duress, Skyline O. Oppressing, Commissioner C. Fleas, and Unscrambled J. Aggressors all shared with me everything for my 100% health.
Sot J. Contradict alleged that there were beautiful Russian girls waiting for me.
And although the message was about ringtones, at first I really wondered if the people calling themselves “Customize Your Cell” were reaching their target market properly.
someone else decided to make their problem into Six Apart’s problem:

I propose that anyone who wants to start a “Computer Security Company” be forced to have one pinky hacked off. The first time they lie, cheat, or steal for “Security” reasons they lose the other one. We’ll progress from there.
