Because of the increasing spam arriving here, and something about extremities prompted by Rick, I thought I would share a couple of things that share my Drafts Folder.

(1) For spammers in general.
Dear Tiresome Nuisance Spammer

Thank you for your concern.

At the moment, I do not require:
Medical supplies
Bits to add inches to parts of my anatomy
Other things to remove inches from other bits of my anatomy
Anti-wrinkle goop
Stocks
Shares
Mortgages
Loans
Software
Oil paintings
Chinese generator sets
Nude pictures of film stars with misspelt names
Watches with £2.99 quartz movements and so-called designer names
Degrees from non-existent universities that evidently do not teach any sort of English
Links to spoof phishing banks that I do not use
Ebay spoof phishing auctions that I know nothing about

Don't call me - I will call you. Time required to delete future crap of this sort that lands in my Inbox will be charged at my usual rate and added to your next invoice.

Naturally, you should never actually reply to one of these spams, as it then authenticates your address, but it makes me feel better!

Right on! If this were a petition, you would have my signature.

Very cool Mike. If only....

Mike, that is a riot!! Don't you wish

That's awesome...
