The Pr0mise of the INTERnet ak543

Looking up Lindenwald, the not-so-far-from-here home of Martin Van Buren, just to see if anything happens to be going on down that way today that would call for a drive through the country (like I need an excuse). And Google offers me ads for “Sexy LINDENWALD singles.” This conjures images of bodices and button-shoes, but no matter. But is this the interactivity we were all really looking for?

For that matter, do spammers really think that anyone is going to open mail with mispellings, gibberish, pidgin English? What is the point to mail with subjects like “Everyone Ne^ed_This fYVQqZ” or “Re: [unpredictable] 63% off Vicodin. bondsman” I know this crap gets through the spam filter because it can’t identify offending words (or, generally, any words, the way they spell), but people can’t really open this crap, right? I mean, who would open a piece of mail called “hamilton blood doping”? Oh, wait, that’s from the spouse. Free Tyler Hamilton!
