I'm reading <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html>A Plan For Spam</a>, which is this guy's article from 2002 about how he deals with spam. It contains this oddly prescient passage:</p> <blockquote><p>Assuming they could solve the problem of the headers, the spam of the future will probably look something like this:</p> <blockquote><p><tt>Hey there. Thought you should check out the following: http://www.27meg.com/foo</tt></p></blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Now, picking a spam from one of my larger spam folders, with 11,000 messages &mdash;</p> <blockquote><p><pre>Enter Here... http://splintedwatches.cn John loved my new Chanel watch. Updated 2009 brand models now available! </pre></blockquote> <p>Crazy, isn't it?</p> Fucking hell, something's wrong with the formatting. I didn't change anything.
