...I propose that all spam should have the word "SPAM:" in the subject line, to make it easier for the recipient to filter out unwanted emails etc. etc.
I've often wondered why spammers go to all this effort to make their emails arrive and pass through the filters. If people are filtering spam out, then surely they aren't going to actually buy the product as a result of receiving the email.
It seems like a pointless drain on resources to me.
She wouldn't be your girlfriend for long.
Telling your girlfriend that she looks fat for a laugh is like trying to get out of a speeding ticket using only the power of sarcasm.
I also prefer having CDs over MP3s. Depending upon the hardware that you have available to you, CDs will normally be much more portable.
For example, if I want to listen to an album of MP3s at home, then that is easy. I just flick my hifi onto the right input, and presto.
It becomes more difficult if I want to listen to something in the car, or take it round to a friend's house. In the latter case I could burn it to a CD or copy it onto a USB flash drive, but that assumes that there will be the appropriate hardware support at the other end (yes, I still have some friends without computers at home. Luddites.)
If I wanted to listen to MP3s in the car, I suppose I'd have to get a car CD player that supports CDs with MP3s burned onto it. I'm perfectly happy with my existing CD player, so this new purchase will not be taking place any time soon.
Oh, and I also like watching the tray on my CD drive slide in and out.
Counterpoint: individual tracks. I never buy CD singles, as changing the disc after eight minutes is too much hard work. However, enqueueing an individual track in your preferred MP3 player is much less effort. This is where the strength of MP3 lies. This is where the money is.

Oh, right. Copy and paste job gets moderated +5. That's great.
