Proof of Evolution

Lately I have been getting a bunch of spam that include a link to report it as spam within the message.  How brilliant is that!  Should the reader decide that the pitch is bogus, perhaps they will be annoyed enough to click the "Report this message as spam" WITHIN THE MESSAGE.  Which, likely (I have not checked on this for obvious reasons) would take the reader to some other bogus website or upload syphillus onto their PC.  Spammers are learning and evolving.

And speaking of spam, I seem to be going through an evolution of my own on the type of spam I recieve.  Sure, I still get hundreds of messages for cheap Canadian drugs and from African barristers looking to liberate hidden money into my coffers.  But lately I seem to be getting a plethora of e-mails from BOTH Christian and senior singles services, and about services for depression and laser hair removal.  Note to spammers: when I posted I was an old, hairy, sad single Christian man onto Foursquare*, IT WAS A JOKE. 

* Note: I don't really even know what Foursquare is.  I think it has something to do with court-mandated ankle bracelet tracking for paroled felons.
