When I got back from taking a few days off at Christmas I had over 5000 email messages in my inbox. I have had my email address on hundreds of web pages for over ten years, so I’ve become some sort of spam magnet. Even with lots of filters, I still have to wade through several hundred messages on any given day. Believe it or not, I don’t really mind.
Sure, I’m bombarded with a lot of stuff that is a total waste of time, but a lot of it is pretty entertaining.
Who has the time to create subject lines like “real bored astronauts” or “tire round go wheel“? I realize that this is must an attempt to fool my spam filters in order to sell me something, but somebody actuallly has to write this stuff. Is this actually their job?
Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but when I see something like “Sailing Boat Waters Rainbow” it’s hard not to take a look.
Fortunately, on our latest web site, goodbuyguys.com, we were able to implement a “contact us” form based method for customer inquiries that does not allow spammers to find my address. It means that you can get real questions and comments to me but spammers can’t lift email addresses from our pages. Hope I’m not helping to put some really creative writers out of business.
