A world gone mad

I'm packing up and going home. A tricky task when you work from home, but worth the effort. Why? Because I just got this email:

ironic subject line

Unsolicited email advertising a spam-proof email address service, whose terms of service forbid the use of that service to send spam.

All together now, it's like raaaaaaaiiiiinnnnn on your wedding day.

Is'nt it ironic, Don't you think!

What a sales pitch, I can imagine the spammer sat at their desk thinking, What can I try and sell to be different.

Drugs? nope done already, fake clothes? nah to difficult.

Eureka!

It's like a thief breaking into your house to sell you a security alarm.

A world without spammers, an email marketers dream. Well I can dream can't I

Supposed anti-spam services have been doing this for years. Some of 'em actually have a product...many are reselling someone else's product...some, as you'd expect, are just plain scams.

Yes, I've had them before but what broke the straw on this particular camel's back was that it seemed a "reputable" service. The email was fully can-spam compliant and had an unsubscribe mechanism that apparently worked (we'll see).

Oh well...let's keep fighting the good fight.
