I love^D^D^D^Dhate spam filters

  • Article

I just traded email with a friend of mine. My initial response to him included a swear word (I know, I know, apparently I am a little evil - but only prime-time-tv evil). Apparently our spam filter on our gateway rejects incoming mail due to language, but not outgoing email. That must actually cut down on a lot of email that's intended for me. :)

>Wow, chris can curse in his emails, but we can't curse in the emails to HIM.

Subject: Some thoughts about A Directory Of Sources For Input Technologies From: John R Mead <kd7mvs@arrl.net> Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:30:57 -0700 To: bibuxton@microsoft.com Bill- While trying to find information on digital tablets or whatever they call them these days, I came across your paper, A Directory Of Sources For Input Technologies, at what I thought was your website, http://widebill.com/. Someone has copied your site, http://www.billbuxton.com/, an iteration or so back [current project doesn't match], leaving everything internal alone, but changing all the external links. After doing a search on your name I found your site, and thought I'd let you know what someone has done.  I don't know what you'll be able to do about it, but at least you'll know about it. yours, John Mead kd7mvs@arrl.net http://kd7mvs.blogspot.com/
