I really should not be so philosophical about spam, considering how much time I spend fighting it. Maybe it’s a correlary of the “if you spend too long fighting monsters you become a monster yourself” concept. I’m not going to start sending it but sometimes it seems more like an amusing sparring partner than an actual enemy I battle. Like Inspector Clouseau and his manservant who would attack him without warning from unexpected places.
Anyway, in clearing out my folder that captures ’suspect’ mail - that which seems dicey but has the remotest possibility of being legit - I see one here with the subject line “All your gay issues solved.”
Putting aside the fact that my mail filter thinks that it’s possible that a mail about “gay issues” might be a legitimate message I would receive, what exactly would be all of someone’s gay issues? Or at least, what would they be that someone could sell you a service or thing that would resolve them? Parental acceptance cream? A bathhouse map? Valium so that you don’t mind the absence of marriage rights?
