This has given me an idea for a new spam-blocker feature. In addition to the blacklist, a superblacklist, which is for senders you have asked to stop sending you email.

If you receive and email from a sender on the SBL, it gets sent to spam, of course, but the spam-handler also autogenerates another request to be removed from the sender's email list. One could have some fun by progressively enlivening each request with randomly chosen vituperation, based on the number of repeats.

Excuse me, I need to go patch my email client.

I am still trying to wrap my head around how emailing someone to take you off an email list automatically adds you back to a list you haven't been taken off yet.

My last actual job was at a typesetting company bought out by a company from India. I will forever use the CEO's email whenever I find a wingnut site that promises to send constant updates! Yesterday I got a letter from a Christian radio station in Nome, Alaska. How they found me I can't imagine but they included a postpaid return envelope for my expected donation. I could send a letter decrying their spoiling of what little remains of First American culture but instead I'll do the usual with these paper pleas from folks I don't like. Take the postpaid return envelope and slip several pieces of heavy metal or even small heavy rocks. The envelope typically won't have your name and address and the postpaid will cost<i> them</i> money, possibly more due to the increased weight of the envelope.

And who says it costs money to entertain oneself?

This goober trying to pass himself off as "Brain" Sieves is especially laughable, IMO.

"BTW... You really don't look good with a beard."

I guess when you're <i>that</i> straight, sometimes the tightly fitting closet door interferes with your grip, and makes it hard to let go of anything you've gotten a hold of.
