19 January 2008

As of January 19, 2008, it is no longer called "pulling a Wendell", it is called "pulling an Estrich". That is all.
And no, I do NOT consider myself 'in proud company'.
I'd be annoyed if my email addy was up for all to see in a mass mailing like that, but that goes without saying. Furthermore, I'd be even more miffed if it was posted on the net for every tom, dick and harry spammer (yeah, I decided to just go with it) to see.

Trust Gawker to add Too Much Information to injury... does Nick Denton have to do something outrageous or awful DAILY to keep his blog empire running?

I got an e-mail at work the other day with the subject line "STOP SENDING ME THIS SHIT." Slightly alarmed, I opened it to find that the sender had hit "reply to all" - where "all" was the entire company's distribution lists - in regards to a spammy email sent by an ex-employee months ago. Scrolling down the email trail, there was a long string of replies-to-all to the original spam email, so apparently the newest recipient had dozens upon dozens of these in his email box when he checked his inbox after a long hiatus.
