Email Garbage

This morning my email inbox is suffering with a terrible case of spam-itis. No, I don't want to see your webcam and I don't think you are hot. Ugh, I suppose this is the price we pay for technology.

This made me think of a cool email that I received from an old friend. He was forwarding a joke or something but in the body of the email he wrote the following:

I was asked recently why I send some things as a BCC. It is simply this. Note that if you got this email, I was thinking about you or you wouldn't be seeing it. Note also, more importantly, that the reason I send some email BCC is that I will not risk YOUR email address getting on to another person - whom you likely don't even know - as having a virus or invasion of some sort giving out YOUR email to a spamlist bot or the such on their machine. In this way, I protect you and safeguard your personal address.

Carry on and rest assured I thought of you specifically and hand pick my email recipients - every single time.

Pretty nice, don't you think? That's just the way Aaron is. I think I am going to plagiarize his words onto my email forwards to let others know that I care about them and their computers too. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you borrowed them too.
