Look, a Dragonfly!
I’ve been posting to Craigslist a bit recently. Phew, the spammers love the Craigslist. Every post generates about 5 spams. It’s possible that Craigslist is filtering another 5,000 automatically. Feh.
So I’ve been seeing the message belowa lot. It’s kind of cute, isn’t it? A nice distraction from my, probably more realistic image of a scruffy bearded, sloven, nasty, smelly programmer sitting in some poorly lit bunker in Chelyabinsk, Russia whispering dirty sweet-nothings into my email.
Thanks Craiglist for making reporting spammers a little cheerier.

Hey Man,
I’m not a spammer and you’ve emailed me twice with your logo. I’m trying to sell my skateboard for $60 that I bought on Amazon for $100 plus shipping. I don’t know if this is you but please stop. I’m going to grad school at UCSB and need money.
Thanks,
Anthony
Tom,
Ummm. You seem to be are unclear on who is responsible for what on the internets.
