Direct and social marketing thoughts, news, and occasional diversions. When you're communicating it's best not to beat around the bush or obfuscate the message, but be direct.

Latest spam technique: using sender address
One of the things I love about gmail is that, okay 2 things: a) great spam filter; b) it shows the sender and beginning of the message in your list of inbox messages. Which alerted me to a new spammer technique (new to me at least), using the recipient name to make the email look like it was a reply or forward based on email I had sent.
Sigh. I hate spam, I think it's a leech on society. I still am in grudging awe over it's sneaky inventiveness. Why are some obviously smart and creative people not putting their great brains to better use?
