SLAM! This list gets a lot of spam so cheers for pissing him
off Michael!

I think the most bizarre spam I've seen on ruby talk was the guy trying
to sell scrap steel from old railway lines. WE'RE PROGRAMMERS WE DON'T
WANT ANY!

As a reminder, please do not mark ruby-talk mails as spam in gmail;
that might get the whole gateway banned by the spamfilter.

Yeah! Why would programmers want Rails?

Oh, wait. . . .

Oh, wait. . . .

I never thought of it as mismatched targeted advertising before,
for some reason I thought spamming was either a really dumb process or
operated by humans, I didn't know that spammers went to the effort of
automated targeting, sort of thing that would produce a "HEY THEY LIKE
RAILS!" mistake.

Nor have I considered what racket programmers have to
endure on this front...

People who run their own weblogs with comment forms tend to have to deal
with this a lot more than those who don't -- especially if (like me) they
know that things like Akismet are prone to false positives, and care
about whether legitimate, interesting comments get lost in the spam
filter. Spamming is often targeted by scripts, as my experience
suggests, and those scripts are sometimes hilariously poor at choosing
targets likely to be interested in the subject of the advertisement.
