| Why is it that most of the spam I get is completely inappropriate for me? Is it just me who receives mostly "Lose weight fast!" and "Grow your penis!" spam, or is this the majority of spam? Is all advertising targeted at the insecure? (Possibly excepting the advertising targeted at people who are interested in 'Barnyard Fun', I suppose.)

| Hey, I get those, too. "Increase your penis size - guaranteed!" Well, hardly. Also "Increase your bust size!" Well, no thank you. Most (possibly all?) the spam I receive seems to be from the US, and quoted in dollars, to spend or be saved. Maybe that's the problem. It's the new TV shopping. Who actually buys? |

| I'm sure alot of people buy actually. Because most people, (at least Americans) are insecure. As far as "natural" bust enlargment, I haven't gotten that one yet. But there are lots of "companies" trying to consolidate the debt of a 16 year old. |

| I tend to get a lot of spam for penis enlargement, mortgages, accept credit cards on your website, and cheap tix to tropical islands. It's not like I'm a man, am planning to own a house, have an online company, or wish to go somewhere else on a suspicious ticket. Stupid marketers, I don't care about hot horny young barely-legal teens. |

| Sounds like the same kind of spam in my in-box. Amusingly enough, I _know_ I get some of the same spam you do, RavenBlack, because I've seen your name on the same mass-email-list as mine... with many many other names and/or email addresses beginning with 'Raven'. Hm... bulk ravens, for advertising. Kaw, kaw, kaw. - Raven Nightshade |

| Mm, those ones tend to open with "Hello, [email address that isn't mine but does contain raven]". Very strange - you'd think, if they're going to go to the effort of grouping emails by keywords like that, they'd make it just "Hello, Raven" and have a good chance of being right. |

| Ah, but what if your email address was my_name_is_not_raven_you_evil_bastard_spammers@hotmail.com? Then it would fulfil the [email address that isn't mine but does contain raven] test condition, but an opening "Hello, Raven" probably wouldn't be welcome. I expect this is the sort of thing that spammers keep in mind constantly. Of course, being a fat bastard with a small penis, I have never received this spam. Maybe market research indicates that people called Raven are overweight and insecure about penile continuance in space. They're keeping the secret from me. And so, they must die. Horribly. Of DOOM! and cicadas. |

| I've seen plenty of American men make use of the 'natural bust enlargement' technique, to modify themselves. (I had a dream about a Raven last night. It wasn't having any of it and wanted out of my silly dream. Then I woke up.) |

| gah. "natural bust enlargement" ads... how about "eat a goddamn sandwich"... eat enough, and they'll eventually grow too, whether you want them to or not. people are very silly. |
