Well it appears I finally got my first spam message in my main Verizon mailbox today. The account was created back in May-2004, so I think this is the longest I've ever gone before getting SPAM. Of course, this account hasn't seen the light of day on the Internet. It had to have been calculated using some sort of brute force method.

I'm still not 100% sure if this is commercial automated SPAM or if the sender a) knows me or b) thinks they know me and got the email address wrong. So, the designation as SPAM may be premature. It certainly qualifies as ugly, unsolicited email.

Dear SPAMbots, feel free to harvest the senders email addy:

Okay, I picked seven people who I thought would do this. I hope I chose

the right seven. Please send this back to me (you'll see why). In case 

anyone is interested, Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little 

Ways.  Meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and 

with great love. She is also the patron Saint of flower growers and 

florists. She is represented by roses. May everyone be blessed who 

receives this message.
