  1. Send 'Em Samples? by GreenHell · · Score: 5, Funny

    You just posted their address on the Internet! I give them an hour before they're getting more "samples" and "special offers" than they know what to do with. Some of them may even be from people forwarding them as examples.

  2. try usenet...? by Ummagumma · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they really want to get a TON of samples, we should post those email addresses all over the *.erotica.* groups on Usenet :)

    Or would that be considered a DOS attack, due to the volume of mail they would probably receive?

  3. They want spam? by kruetz · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can only guess that the poor bastards have been living without internet access up till now. But if you really want spam, is posting your email address to /. the best way to go about it? Why not join up to some free pr0n sites? (And if you actually get free pr0n, let us know, godamnit!)

    Dear California,

    Here is the necessary information to get spam samples:

    pop3.attglobal.net
    Username: lightinaugust@attglobal.net
    Password: twizzlers
    Check every 25 minutes for a good sample of spam.
