Spam is Dead
Vainglorious Coward writes "Two years on from Bill Gates' promise to eradicate spam, an article in The Observer claims that spam has passed its peak and is now declining. Is it just me that hasn't noticed this?" I got almost a third more spam in 05 than 04. I guess I exist outside the bell curve on this one.
Offtopic, I know, I know. But I have to agree. I'm AMAZED at the number of people the take the time to type out a signature in the body of the message just so I can see it. I've started FOE'ing for this, it just irritates me to no end. Chriss, I'm sure you're a nice person, and your comment seems well written; but now you know why I'm a "freak".

I don't know how many customers bypass you because of this amateurish idea, but I know I would.
We turn away 2 out of 3 calls for our services. We're likely in the top 10 of all businesses in our market in Chicago. I personally have consulted on 60% of the high rises built in the past 5 years in the city.
I'd likely turn you away and call your competitor in a heartbeat over such a stupid statement. Our job is to save our customer a guaranteed $1.50 for every dollar they pay us. Guaranteed or I pay it. Most save $3-$4.
My customers love that I've saved my company $8000+ per year switching to gmail. One of my customers is the second biggest contractor in his city, he's switching to gmail. He'll save $45,000 a year.
It would look a lot more professional.
But I don't look professional. I wear shorts, I have rockstar hair and I'm loud." My work is why I'm hired, not my "look."
Come visit us, I'll take you out on my daily work. You'll see customers who smile when they see me or any of my employees. Why?
They save fortunes. So do I.
