I am getting a lot of spam these days on my Gmail account. I don’t like it, but usually, it goes to my spam box and i let it compost there… Today, it seems someone just left for an early week end and switched off the server with the spam-protection robot on it. How could any spam script let go an email that has “Sweet Anal sex with virgins” as a subject, and NO content at all?? WTF?? I am not even gonna try to understand how it could benefit a spammer to send such a message, because honestly, I don’t care, but could the wizz kids at Google realize that their spam script is not working anymore?? One of the reasons I loved Gmail (not the only one, but one of them) was that I had �bersearchwonder GOOGLE in charge of taking care of the spam for me. I get a lot of it, and I am happy they are doing the dirty work so that I don’t have to. But this “Sweet Anal sex with virgins” email just gives me huge doubts on their ability to handle any spam at all.

I am a bit disappointed by the fact that the spam handling has not been evolving with features such as “trust this person from now on”, or “add my own spam words list”. Right now, it seems they just give up.

I must say I still love Gmail for all the other reasons, and I am still a very happy customer. But this is such a big dirty spot that it’s impossible not to notice it and feel nauseous.

Dear Gmail people,
I am sure you read my mail because you have good taste. You know where to reach me if you want to discuss this further. Meanwhile, remember this, the real king of the Internet is the one who will manage to control spam. If Yahoo can do it, they will win. If it is Microsoft (ha ha ha!! I won’t even finish this sentence)… If it is an outsider, they will kick your butt before you even realize it! Spam is the Holy Graal. Don’t let this slip your mind.
