Spamatologists
A couple days ago, I bitched about a cheesy spam email I got through my LinkedIn profile from some huckster claiming to have "over 15,000 LinkedIn connections and reach 10 million LinkedIn executives."
Well, sure enough, the spammer himself shows up to defend his spam in the comments. And the rest of his posse follows suit.
I look forward to hearing from the other 10 million executives in your network.

This email pisses me off on so many level. But mainly because it's spam:

I came from so far back in Free Cell just now you don't even know. Amazing. I should have recorded it and posted it on Youtube. Streak at 23.
