It's okay to be wrong. It's not okay to stay wrong.

Spam names

While I’m on the topic of spam, what is the deal with the phony names of senders? It used to be they would pull name lists from censuses and combine them randomly to throw off spam-monitoring software. I knew that if I ever got email from “Constantine Q. McTaggart”, it’d be spam. (Until I met him and found that he’s a lovely person.)

Now they’re not even trying anymore — just throwing in lists of regular words. Which is why I got an email today from

Paraguay K. Emasculate

It’s just silly.

Got any entertaining spam names lately? Put ’em in comments.
