Spammers need to keep finding ways to get past the spam filters. One way to do this and in the process hurt SpamCop users is to disguise your spam. Various methods exist to do this, but one that has an extra benefit is to make your spam look like a bill. People come to your web site or have to phone you to get removed from your mailing list. Both of which increase name recognition or contact with a potential customer.
Even better, SpamCop’s admins may view these as not spam since “they look like an unpaid bill” resulting in warnings for SpamCop users. This is just want spammers want – cause extra work for SpamCop and get SpamCop users warned about reporting something that is spam, but doesn’t look like it. Even better, since it looks like a bill and it requires effort to determine that it is not, you may not have to include an unsubscribe link so you can require people to call in to be removed, giving you an opening to sell to them.
You don’t even have to get the person’s name right – Jim Smith is as good as John Smith for admins at SpamCop who do not pay attention.
“I am leaving because you consider that success, creation, talent, anything different, must be punished.”
Gerard Depardieu, in an open letter to French prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault , December 16, 2012
“For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That’s what I’ve tried to go out and do. I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don’t have to be defined by that.’” Robert Griffin III, December 12, 2012
First of all, I’m in the top two percent. Right now, I’m paying 45% of my total income in income taxes, both to the state of Connecticut and to the federal government, and if you take the 3% Medicare tax. After the tax hikes go into effect next year, more than half — more than half of my total income is going to go to the government. You tell me, what’s fair about that when medieval serfs pay 25%, I’m paying half? I don’t care what the majority voted to do, they don’t have a right to steal my money just because they vote for it. ..You know what the wealthy are going to do? They’re going to invest more abroad, they’re not going to work as hard, they’re not going to pay as much in taxes, they’re not going to employ as many people. They’re employees are going to pay all the taxes. Peter Schiff, December 10, 2012
“As long as you think we have to police the world and run this welfare state, all we will argue about is who will get the loot.” Ron Paul, November 8, 2012
A friend now says that those who voted for President Obama are no longer welcome at their house. She doesn’t believe in supporting those who would sell their (and our) freedom for a free phone and free birth control. She doesn’t believe in supporting those that believe that their need gives them the right to force someone else to provide for them. She knows that if she takes money directly from someone’s pocket, it is theft, whereas if the President does it, it is supposed to be admirable, but is not. She knows it is not charity if it is someone else’s money. She knows that it is racist to vote for someone because of his skin color. She knows that nothing is free, not even health care – someone has to provide it. She knows that the quest for power in Washington knows no bounds.
As much as possible she intends to support those people and businesses that support liberty, and avoid those that do not. She intends to support employees who value their freedom and let those who do not go. She knows that freedom is the best path to prosperity and the only moral path.
In short, she believes in freedom and equality for everyone and is taking steps in her life to attest to that. Her advice for the Republican Party is to adopt the slogan “We’ll stay out of your pocketbooks, and out of your bedroom.” She’ll support the Constitution, and the Founder’s view of freedom in the hope of protecting liberty in the United States.
