Well, I had to do the same with the email message... And it didn't render very well on the blog (I tried to use boldface here and there, but hey...)

Yup, there's a method there...

Best,

It turns out that everyone of those spam headlines had a special character (invisible) between each letter which yr reader interpretted as

or this:

s€i€l€e€n€t€ €m€e€s€s€a€g€e€ €f€r€o€m€ €H€a€n€s€ €R€i€l€e€y€


When I tried posting it on the fluxblog, the poem wouldn't take at all because of the special characters, I had to use html to get it to display correctly.


the spam is not as it seems

i sometimes wonder why technology can't deal with simple text in a
uniform manner. allen's sonnet was a sonnet to me, yet not to him. one
of my poems came back to me as one really big line, which it definitely
isn't, and now i don't know whether mIEKAL's message is supposed to
appear as it does for me in this reply email (just text), or is
actually supposed to contain millions of question marks (which is both
highly enjoyable and thoroughly taxing on my brain).
