Motivational Spam?

[calzephyr]

Lately I have been getting inspirational quotes from spammers. They all come from munged addresses and goofy names like regular spam. Is it some kind hearted employee who has said "Geez, this sucks, I'm going to use my spam powers for good!"?

Today's message is: "If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me." Ann Landers

My own sweet father is sadly illiterate when it comes to the Internet, but he knows how to send and recieve chain mail and spam. I get at least one of those Biblical Quotes spams a week. You know, the kind that say, "Send this two ten other people and you'll be saved, delete this and God will know you hate him and you'll burn in Hell," some quite litearlly. *le sigh*

I do like that quote, though. Perhaps I should remember it for my own life.

LOL, there's one in every family - Bud's aunt Cathy does the same. The odd gems she forwards are sometimes worth it though.

It is a good quote - it doesn't seem randomly chosen, so it adds a bit of mystery.
