Donotreply

I don't know about you, but I hate getting email from Donotreply. I'm not sure who this idiot is, but he or she had better leave me alone. I always send a scathing response telling this creep to step down.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Spam. Not the stuff my dad ate in WWII, but the email kind. Seems an equipment engineer sent a mail message over ARPANET to his colleagues advertising a new line of computers. The recipients were not pleased and told him to "cut that shit out" right away.

Well, a few million other people have since taken up his torch, and up to 95% of all email on the internet is spam now. It costs IT departments over $200 billion to combat. Thanks for the kickstart idea, jerk-off.
