It’s just… so… obvious.
November 19th, 2007Woe be to those whose email address I have (not from comments, I mean you’ve given me your email address for actual correspondence) for their time shall be wasted to the end of eternity.
I start spam. Not the annoying spam, I mean the kinds of things that were really cute, the first time you got it, back in 1996. I rarely forward anything and, frankly, most of the stuff that gets forwarded to me are things I’ve seen before.
But random crap on the internet finds me. All. The. Time. So I share it. And I’m usually the first one to share it, and about a year or two later, it comes back to me and I reply saying "Didn’t I send this to you back in…?" And, of course, I not only did, but I saved the original spam in my Sent Items folder.
This weekend a friend of mine posted that he was going to start blogging via email. And the heavens opened, the clouds parted, a chorus of angels sang and a ray of sunlight came through and BONKED me on the head.
I mean, I wasn’t using my review blog anymore, anyway… it was just sitting there not doing anything, and people who aren’t on my list should be able to waste time on the crap I send to people I know, too!
It was just obvious. Now whenever I send cool spam out to people, I can auto blog it via email to a direct archive.
And let me just say, my email thanked me for it.
