I don’t know about you but I get a good amount of spam. My email client (Thunderbird) does a good job of sifting through about 60% of it, but I still get a good daily dose of spam emails.<\/p>\n
What eludes me about the whole concept is that someone actually has to be making money from all of this. I mean, that’s it’s intention, to help me earn a $30,000 degree for only $3k or to sell me ’10 Mining Stocks You Should Own’. Of course not all spams are purely about lucrative dealings or sales propositions. And they’re becoming increasingly clever. How it all works I haven’t a clue but obviously there are bots<\/a> trolling the series of tubes<\/a> constantly, and tracking user movements and interests – what might you be more likely to clickthrough?<\/em><\/p>\n Okay so you know that I visit a lot of art sites! (I’m talking to the bot now) Go figure! But what you’re unable yet to distinguish is what type<\/em> of art sites I look at! You can’t distinguish contemporary video from classical painting! You can’t even distinguish avant-garde movements from… each other! So you sure as hell<\/em> won’t be able to distinguish what I like and dislike within the phenomenally fucking huge and nearly explosive arena of ‘post-modern’ & contemporary art, where I am drawn to things, objects, works, drawings, paintings (a few), videos, interactive works, etc., that have no relation<\/em> to each other!<\/p>\n And why did you timecode your email for the future?! The email was sent nearly three days ago but was timecoded for today at 2:51pm! Of course I knew it was false! And with a subject such as One of those young men was painter Sandro Botticelli for whom the striking Simonetta Cattaneo personified beauty and goodness.<\/strong>, your email is destined for the junk folder! I mean, Sandro Botticelli<\/a>, an Italian Renaissance painter best known for his The Birth of Venus<\/a> painting? Whose subject, Venus, was modeled by the aforementioned Simonetta Cattaneo<\/a>? Cmon! You really think I’m going to clickthrough<\/em> that shit!<\/p>\n
