My spam numbers continue to increase, but I am for the moment intrigued by the latest development.

I can understand if the From box says Angel, or Tiffany, or even Accounts Department or Microsoft Download Patch; the idea is to get you to at least click on the subject. But over the last four days, I have received emails from the following, and as Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up;

Careless R. Stationer,
Partridge P. Blavatsky,
Mightiest E. Ulna,
Shaun H. Resoundingly,
Puritans F. Hieing,
Shortcutting V. Litterbug, (!)
Myrtle E. Deferring,
Gethsemane K. Coincident, (!!)
Scabbiest R. Bedroll,
Optimization E. Misgovern,
Abstrusely Q. Laud,
Woodcutter O. Pedalling, and
Exertion R. Encephalog!!!!!!

No idea what any of them were about, I just copied the names from the Trash folder, but at least there is a degree of curiosity about where my spam is going to come from these days. Surely they can't believe ANYBODY would open them?
