Holy *&^%$#@! this is cheeky as hell. I just got spam that says:
A Poll is being taken to settle the issue whether
commercial e-mail or SPAM is a good form of advertisement,
which you would like more of or it's a bad form of
advertisement which you are against.
Your opinion on how to make this kind of advertisement
better & to increase its use is vital. Or if this is a
terrible form of advertisement and how it should be curtailed,
regulated or ended all together.
Please call, 1-900-XXX-XXXX and tell us.
I've been ignoring spam recently, but this is just screaming for some time spent in traceroute...

I'd like to meet this guy and shake his hand (just before punching him in the nose). The preternatural chutzpa of the concept is breathtaking, like the con man who called all the scrap dealers in Paris together to announce that the French Government was planning to tear down and then rebuild the rusting Eifel tower. He was soliciting bids for the scrap contract. He then spend a month cheerfully collecting bribes from the dealers, skipping town before they realized that he was not a government official. Audace, audace, tojours audace!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
