Doesn't everybody? I've worked really hard to make a svelte, sexy representation of the Linux world, with nice ankles and a sultry voice.

(What the hell do you mean, "failed like the Republicans"???)

Yep - those new laxatives are top-notch!

You know, I really like that lowercase "i". It indicates an absence of egotism, a purity of heart, a generous soul; someone who considers the relationship more important than just her own wants and needs. Or it could just mean that your writing skills suck, and that you are a money-grubbing scammer, exactly as the evidence overwhelmingly screams you are. Perhaps I should toss a coin?

[Down, DOWN!!! Not TO you, you greedy little spammer monkey - it's just an expression! Oh, dear. I think I've made my decision, and it's not a favorable one.]

Madam, do I know you? Would you mind not standing so close, please? You're breathing on me! For all I know, you may have (as a recent email in my spambox said) "ill-health of Oesophageal adenocarcinoma or gastric cancer with or without eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in chronic atrophic gastritis patients will be deadly." In other words, back, you damned thing!

Distance does indeed matter - not only are you trying to worm your way into my personal space (and pocket); not only are you and all your kind malodorous and offensive even before you get physically close: you are a vile skankazoid leech, a flaming diseased pustule upon the body of the Internet, and the more distance between us, the better I like it.

> i wait to hear from you soon.

Give it a just a littlle longer, OK (e.g., 'while :; do sleep 1; done')? Meanwhile, would you mind keeping your hands off that keyboard? Before you "share the love that matters" with another 10,000 random email addresses? Since, y'know, we share that love.

> kiss regards Miss Suzee

Kiss my grits, Miss Suzee (a.k.a. Nigerian spammer named Kehinde or Alaba or whatever.) And thanks for the entertainment!

Do that aceh.linux.or.id mirrors LG.com or something? I wonder when my email figured there.

Standard spammer tactic, somewhat like the Melissa virus: harvest addresses and URLs from a given site, send mail "from" the harvested URLs to the harvested addresses. The theory is that you're more likely to open an email if it comes from a familiar domain.

You even managed to fit a one liner in there to keep it on topic.

That's like beating them off with a stick (LART?) whilst simultaneously juggling bowling balls and chainsaws.

Well done! I say.
