Email idiots

OK, so we accept it. SPAM is a way of life on the internet. You have e-mail address, you will get spam. Period. I don't like spam, but I accept it as one accepts an annoying fly.

Jokes and other humorous mail, on the other hand, I do like to receive. Yes the same mails go around again and again, but those few rare gems are worth the pile of rubbish you have to wade through to find them. Go ahead, send me a joke. Just remember to clean it up before you do.

What?

Yes. Clean up the motherfucking shit from the top and the bottom. Come on... I taught my mother to do it years ago, and all she can do on a PC is read/send mail and play card games!

I don't fucking care who sent you the mail. As such, why should I have it shoved in my face?

Surprisingly, I also don't take any interest in the e-mail disclaimers/signatures of the last 43 people to have forwarded the mail. So stop sending the shit to me.

In fact, that 2-liner joke was lost amongst the 100KB of crap.

Essentially, you're sending me pages and pages of garbage, that is not worth my time reading. (Yes, apparently there is a joke in there somewhere, when you find it feel free to forward it - the joke that is.)

So, let's recap quick:

• Spam = email full of junk/crap that I have no interest in reading.
• Joke email from idiot = email full of junk/crap that I have no interest in reading. (regardless of the eventual joke - by that time I'm too frustrated)

So, therefore:

Joke email from idiot = Spam.

Gotcha!

When I get spam from a seemingly legitimate source, I have their ISP crap them out and potentially terminate their service. Unfortunately, its not so easy when you work for the same company as the fucknut. So, I've found an alternative...

SUBSCRIBE THEM TO EVERY FUCKING SPAM/PORT/UCE/CRAP LIST I CAN FIND!


Maybe when they start getting crap they'll appreciate the value of the recipient's time. But then again I highly doubt it.


Either way - I stop reading mail from the idiot and the idiot's time gets consumed.


Looks like I win... Again :)

Thanx

Tell me: Are there that many people out there that are that lazy that they cannot type ONE extra letter?

Case in point - the word 'Thanx'. HOW FUCKING DUMB do you have to be that that actually looks pleasant to read? It offends me. Really. Is your time worth so much that you can't afford the extra 150milliseconds to type 'ks' instead of 'x'?

Thanks is spelt T-H-A-N-K-S. Anything else is an abomination. How badly did you do at spelling in school? Or were you beaten up by a big polystyrene K and S? Does plain english (yes, believe it or not, that is the language in which I interact with you) seem like an alien concept to you?

You're probably the same sort of person that likes using SMS/Texting slang, aren't you?

Jargon is one thing, but shortening a word that is already a shortened form of a phrase is taking it too far.

Or wud u rthr I tlk lik dis?

Fucking idiots.

This is me.

OK, so I'm no blogger. I just need to rant. Well, here it is folks. My own rantspace.

(yay)
