Should we be sorry that spam is filtered out so assiduously by Gmail, et al? Here are some recent items…
Rita from Jiangxi Pingxiang Xingda Aquarium Filter factory gives me these prices:

Combined with the information in “Child Support Litigation without a Marriage” and residency in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, or a similarly-oriented state, this could prove lucrative indeed…
Bad news for traditional media: Offers-to-subscribe emails from both New Yorker and the Boston Globe were marked by Google as “spam”.

Readers: What are the best spam emails that you have received lately?
“Please kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you because I know it may come to you as a surprise as we have no previous correspondence. I got your contact as I was searching for an assistant in your country, and this is why I decided to appeal to you as a matter of urgency about ($4,700,000.00) Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollar. It is an unequivocal fact that we’ve not met nor communicated before but due to the true revelation that I should share this with you.”
Wow! A “true revelation”? It *must* be legit! Can I get in on the action, too?
A friend recently received the following in a snail mail letter addressed to him
“On further enquiries we found out that Mr. Alfred S [same last name as my friend] was involved in an accident in Mainland China, which means he died intestate. He has no next of kin and the reason I am writing you is because you are of the same similar last name. What I propose is that since I have exclusive access to his file, you will be made the beneficiary of these funds…..”
I did not know that being involved in an accident in China is known as “dying intestate”.
I knew Trump was going to be a real contender back in 2015, when the amount of spam that had “Trump” in the subject field went through the roof. To date, zero spam that uses the name Cruz or Kasich.
Don’t you know spam is the heart of the current economic boom.
