I've received spam messages with some really weird subject lines but one that made it through my filters today appears to be no less than a personal attack: "Those who can't write, write help files" :)

Damn spammers know who I am!

  1. I thought the saying was, “Those who can’t write, become project managers.”. :)

  2. But if they can’t write, then how can they write help files…? ;-)

    (The phrase actually has a real footprint on the web, and sometimes these vermin just grab existing text in hopes of getting a hit of interest.)

  3. “Those who can’t write, don’t even get spammers”
    :)

  4. Its probably just the results of clever massive spamming, but its getting eerie. I’ve started getting “RE:project proposal”, “RE:site down”, etc. All from harmlessly masked addresses and names. But its all spambot droppings.
