Spam Sender Names

You'd think these wretched spammers would have given up by now. I mean how many people actually reply to them?

I think at least some of then are selling on the addresses to the naive. During bench time in the early '90s the local paper was full of envelope stuffing jobs, which given I had a computer and printer looked like money for old rope (if somewhat boring). I couldn't help but think it was really a means of shifting typewriters to unemployed hopefuls who had no computer.

Google Mail appends the first text line (greyed) to the subject title, which makes it easy to spot the junk even if the sender name and title don't make it obvious (and in my case their spam detection is pretty near perfect).

I registered for a Mail on Sunday account; the response email was moved to the spam folder by Google. So, yes, 100% right.
