@Evil Fruit Lord - What an excellent idea. Do it, I say, but use an anonymous remailer to send your reply.

I’ve gotten about four or five copies of the same message saying that Luciano Pavarotti had left me his entire estate in his will. I was tempted to write back to one of the other messages offering me millions of dollars and explain that I have just inherited the Pavarotti estate, so perhaps they ought to find some one else to give it to.

@Evil Fruit Lord - What I want to know is, who is taken in by that stuff? A close cousin to Who really believes that someone I don't know wants to pay me millions of dollars just to use my bank account?

I had another, non-fruit, blog once (it’s probably still out there somewhere, but I forget where) that only ever had one post, which essentially said “here’s my new blog, I just made it to see how it works, I’ll probably never post anything here.”

When I last checked on it a year ago, it had two comments both of which were spam. I particularly liked the one that said: “I’ve been reading your site for a long time now, and I like the inquisitive way you think. I have a site on a similar topic you might be interested in: (link to site)”. I wonder how long he had been reading that one, uninformative post?
