Where Is Spam When You Want It?
Sean writes "In a complete twist to what everybody else is trying to do these days, I need to attract spam to an e-mail address for a research survey I am conducting. I have submitted a few articles to a handful of Usenet groups, and I have signed up to some general mailing lists but so far I have nothing to show for it. How come by personal account gets 100+ spam each day yet when I try to find it I get nothing? Where should I post my address so that it attracts spam?"
If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.
We all know that the Spam won't show up if you want it. That's against the very nature of spam.
All annoying things always happen every time except for the one time you try and prove the phenomenon to a non-beliver. Well known fact.
Good luck at finding the spam (wow, I never thought I'd have say that.)
Give it to some of your friends and relatives, soon you'll recieve 20 or so joke chain letters every day...
Write a HOWTO and put your real e-mail address in there.

Worked for me
New research shows spam no longer a problem!
"Research Survey" = getting back at evil ex-girlfriend.
"My deadbeat roommate has pissed me off once too often. On a completely unrelated note, I'm looking for ways to attract lots of spam to an email address for... er... research. Yes, research sounds plausible."

You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
Amazing. Even after you made your millions from underground African money transfers, you still find time to post to Slashdot. What character! I can see why Igwe Emanuel thought you good enough to do business with.
I, on the other hand, will be out of here as soon as the transaction is complete. So long, suckers!

Maybe your girlfriend is pretty serious about you getting a penis enlargement and some viagra. Ever think about that, smart guy?
That isn't any sort of encrypted text. It is simply a (pathetic) attempt of evading filters...
You insensitive clod!
You've ruined the poor boy's dream!
Just think of the hours of fun he could have had "cracking" the "code".
Just think of the elaborate code -- and equally elaborate conspiracy behind it -- he might have created in a desperate obsession to make his data fit his theory!
It could have been a new formularization to rival the Illuminati, Ancient Astronauts, secret codes in the Bible, or some other tortuous, contrived theory! Why, he might even have constructed the ultimate conspirarcy theory, a religion!
But no! You had to cruelly disillusion him. And rob us of the fruit(iness) of his labors.
For shame!
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
Knowlingly install a system from the manufacturer's CD and running it on the Internet? The horror! The horror!
