I posted a bunch of information about uAuthorize.com and their spam this morning around 10:30am (Eastern), and the last time stamp of the spam I received from them falsifying my domain on their messages was at 11:24am (Eastern). Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Constructive Criticism
I got quoted in an article at Lockergnome. Cool.

Wired News: Stop Trying to Persuade Us
A fascinating article by Wired News, Stop Trying to Persuade Us gives a quick glance at a PBS Frontline show, The Persuaders, airing tonight. It is also interesting to note that there are eight ads (4 images, 4 text) on the page of this article.
Idiot for Congress
Wow, I only just got my first piece of political candidate spam for this election cycle. It only had 166 email addresses listed in the To: field. And I only received four copies of this garbage. I guess I know who to vote for now: the OTHER candidate!
“Spam” in the Subject
It appears that at least one product is configured to not allow the word “spam” to be in the subject line of an email message. Nice, see CDT Policy Post 10.15: Spam Continues to Plague Industry and Users.
