If I want to argue politics....

Post by Greg_Cornish »

I'll do it on boards like this or amongst friends. Lately a woman L.A. started forwarding conservative views to me. By the time the reach me they are forwarded so many times, they are unreadable. Then, her friends whom I don't know, hit reply all and I get the view back.

Today I came up with an idea. I hit "reply all" on their message then find a spam for something like Colon Cleanse, Acai Berry Cleanse or Viagra and hit forward. Then I remove the quote level so it looks brand new. Then I go to the other message, copy all their email addresses and paste them into the spam, set the subject to, "Here's some spam for you," and send it on.

Today is day one. I've sent out 2 so far. I wonder how long it'll be before I don't get these anymore.

Thats pretty good, let me know how it works. When I get spam, I just block the sender and the message automatically goes into the junk mail folder. My biggest problem is that my new blackberry does not have any filters, so I get ALL of the junk on my phone.

I may be jumping the gun, but I think I'm off the list already.

Greg I'll forward all that kind of stuff to you, and will clean it up before I send it.

Same with the iPhone.
