`OT: An observation.

2014-05-20 Thread P.J. Alling
I have an e-mail account especially for well, junk, which I use for free 
offers of all kinds.  Then if I get e-mail from the place that wanted a 
valid e-mail for the sometimes dubious honor of downloading their often 
useless software I can more easily ignore the spam that they send me later.


I use a false first and last name, that any human would recognize as 
such, hey I'm not hiding what I'm doing.


It always amuses me when I get e-mails addressed personally with a 
salutation to Dear Aggravated followed by the words similar to "I just 
wanted to personally..."  well if I saw someone named aggravated, 
personal my arse.

I have an account like that where they address me as 'Dear asdfg'. In a world 
where somebody might genuinely be called Chardonné Gaylord Ng it's not good 
policy to question a name.
