A Conference About Spam
zonker writes "January 17th will be the first (annual?) meeting of the Spam Conference held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The informal meeting will feature Paul Graham, John Graham-Cumming, John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper among others (possibly including ESR though he hasn't yet confirmed). The free conference will consist of a number of talks about new ways to combat the growing spam problem, after which everyone's going out and getting some Chinese food. Should be an informative and fun meeting and a chance to meet some interesting people."

Large print giveth, and the small print taketh away
I opened up my Inbox this morning and had like 50 emails about this conference...

now you've posted that site and they'll get thousands of click-throughs from /.ers wanting to see what the fake website looks like!!
Hey... you sure this isn't some cunning spam advertising method to get us to go to your site? Is Yusaku Godai even your real username or is it really cafecutie21?!?
No doooode! She's into you! Score doode score!

Do they actually do anything with the stuff?
Of course they do. Judging by their large penises and all that money made from home, they've done quite well for themselves to boot.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
There are over 24,361,450 businesses in the US
Ah yes, I forgot:
"According to the MPAA, there are over 65,744,682 businesses in the US. They actually found 24,361,450 but some of them were big corporations."
I code, therefore I am.
He did, he just used them all in one......spot.
If this is a conference on spam, then shouldn't about 1000 random people show up and tell the hosts that they could make big bucks by charging everyone who attends one dollar, but let them in for free if they bring ten friends?

It is a conference AGAINST spam instead of a spammer conference.
Lucky I didn't fire my nuke yet...
