The subject line:

Mine Is Bigger Then Yours ! pardon

was good enough all by itself, but the fact that the sender was identified as one Marisa Reece, an obviously female name, just added that certain soupçon of je ne sais quoi.

AUGH--don't mention spam to me! Ever since we had that interloper, I get spam nearly every day. (I'm guessing it was his method of revenge.) For a while I tried copying and sending--with headers--to my ISP (they have an address for abuse). I have now moved to simply blocking them, now that I've found I can do that without opening them. But I'm a little concerned, having learned from zmjezhd that there are such things as bots: will this mindless thing simply go on creating new return addresses to torture me with, its creator never knowing? Or am I dealing with an actual human being who may eventually run out of addresses to use?
