So spam...

Post by basicanarchy101 » Tue Jan 19, 2010 9:26 am

Where exactly do you draw the line as too what is or isnt spam?

For example, I get tons of ads in my email all day everyday, from porn to pcs... n otherwise overlooked, today I found an old getdarker newsletter with free 320s in it. I was pumped. Keep in mind, I dont remember signing up for this newsletter anywhere, and I have it flagged as 'spam'

but at this point, it cant be spam! It was useful...

So where do you draw the line?

I just got in before a lock, twice. How? I plugged a piece of ware and a very interesting article on the properties of eqing that are involved in vocal isolation... The thread was spam... and I was in before the lock... but someone, oneday, might type 'vocal isolation' into the search, n boom, theres a jackass getting in before the lock answering the question inadvertantly.

So it makes me wonder, what other people percieve as spam? And if you ever stop to appreciate the art of it. Or its useful nature. Whens the last time you opened your junk folder on GMail? bet its been a while... Never know... thier might be a free tune in there.

I'm always very wary when signing up to sites to make sure i click/unclick the box allowing them to email me. So I only get about 3-5 emails a month into my junk.

The ones that manage to get into my inbox are just ones I fucked up on, but I keep meaning to click unsubscribe, but then just not doing so.

so, this also begs the question, how many of you have been too donotreply?

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/security ... reply.html

this dude owned dontreply.com, so when you rpelyed to those ones that said donotreply@donotreply.com, he got em. Bit sad really, he got fingered as a national security threat n shut down.
