First I'm a CIA agent [1] and then I get this:
**From:** <Spider@BridalGowns.com> [2] > **To:** Sean Conner > **Date:** Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:20:37 -0800 > **Subject:** It's Time to Submit Your Site to BridalGowns.com >
Just a brief message to notify you that your site is currently not scheduled in the pending reviews for BridalGowns.com. Brides and grooms will not be able to see your site through our upcoming service unless you submit yo ur URL at http://www.bridalgowns.com [3] It's FREE! Now's the time!
It's just so … odd that I just had to check it out. No default background color (whoever did it assumed white—little do they realize my default is still that hideous gray color that Mosaic popularized in the early 90s) so it looks like crap.
But from the name, I suppose it's a wedding related site. But I have to wonder … they probably got my email address from my web site, so why did they spam me to have me send the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of my site back to them? Are they totally incompetent?
And why am I asking rhetorical questions?
