to all the spammers out there

To the robots who are programmed to swipe my e-mail address from everywhere on the net:

I do not want software to spy on other people. I already have two legitamite degrees of my own that I earned, and am going to go for a third. I don’t care about your weight-loss system. I have all the inkjet cartridges I need. I don’t smoke as it is, so I don’t need to quit.

I have no need for a “no down payment” mortgage. My credit card payments are just fine, thank you. Your investment plans do not interest me. I don’t care about making $1200 a week in your little “no-risk moneymaker.” I’m sure everyone else is a winner too.

I don’t need anything enlarged. I don’t need medication of any kind, and definitely not the kind you’re peddling. Your “celebrity” pictures are doctored, and I don’t care anyway. I don’t want to see you on a webcam doing anything, much less what you claim you’ll be doing.

If you have more than three letters in a row on your e-mail address that don’t make up part of a name, you’re deleted. If you have more than 5 numbers in a row on your e-mail address, you’re deleted. If you sent anything to my Yahoo! account, you’re immediately deleted, because I don’t use it for anything but a throwaway e-mail address anyway. If you send me mail from a Hotmail account and aren’t in my address book, you’re deleted.

In short, go away.

    It’s almost as annoying as telemarketing. Well, maybe more annoying — when someone calls for “Mr. or Mrs. Ryan Walker” to inform me that we have just won a free cruise (if we spend $375 on magazines), I can usually find a creative way to annoy the person. I can’t DO anything to a computer-generated message, and that just makes me mad.
