I received a spam message that slipped right through my Gmail spam filter today:

It is not a programmatic spam filter but Google's strategy of allowing for human flagging and filtering the flagged for all users works the best of any filter I have seen.

heh. "needs" maybe? Who tells you what something needs unless they are trying to sell it to you?

I got an interesting message in my gmail inbox too today. This was it:

"Hi, Aviya -

Aviva gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy today. It went very well -- no epidural or drugs needed! She and Aviad are very happy and not even too tired! Reuven and I are flying high!

I hope you had a good flight and are getting off to a great adjustment to life in Dallas.

Please write when you can.

Miss you!
Barbara"

hee hee. I wrote back to tell her mazal tov.

This is why cialis ads get through more often than Viagra ones. Viagra ones that are spelled correctly, anyway.

Because, it's hard to block those six letters in a row.
