That’s as bad as one dumb spam email I got that was several screens long, and at the bottom it said “please print this out to read later if you don’t want to read it now.” Yeah, that was at the END of the message, after someone had read it.

Email Spam is bad, but even worse is owning a blog. I am constantly deleting spam comments everyday from people saying “hey really good information, thanks for posting it” Come on, this brings no value to anyones blog, or the web in general. Build quality content people and the big G will reward you!

As humorous as these SPAM emails are to us in the know, I deal with clients all the time that simply don’t know they have received SPAM… often times malicious. Aside from the obvious downside of people getting “taken” by these emails, there is another effect that have that really p_sses me off. It makes our entire industry look a little shady. The same with the Black Hat SEOs out there. It means I have to work extra hard to build up a high level of trust. Many of my clients have had bad experiences with this stuff, and often times it seems as if I have to make up for these SPAM and Black Hat a-holes… and another thing!

Hi Matt,

Currently Gmail’s anti-spam program is working so efficiently that I am not winning lottery entries and getting business offers from Nigeria any more, screw you guys, I lost millions because of your technology.

Although I am still getting emails from all the kind websites which want me to join them and extend my social network, I am so not annoyed by them.

matt, no need to post this comment, but a big FYI:

i clicked on the following link in your post, and was alerted by Avast! Antivirus that the page i was attempting to connect to was infected with a trojan horse. i aborted the connection.

Seriously give yourself a -30. This blog sometimes sucks more than UK’s car insurance search results.

Matt you should give yourself a penalty for low quality content. New entry to Quality Guidelines: Avoid creating content about spam because it’s as good as spam and depressing and Frank Malina doesn’t want to read about it.

Matt,

I was very interested your comments about Cattaraugus Ave. in Los Angeles. I am from the village of Cattaraugus, and was amazed when I first discovered that there was a street with that name in LA. I contacted the LA County Historical Society and the LA Public Library to see if anyone could tell me how that came to be the name of a street in LA. So far I’ve had no luck, but there must be a good story there about someone coming from Western New York to LA a hundred years ago.
