"plenty of people are greedy, gullible, uninformed, overly trusting, stupid, or some combination of the above"
This also means: "Anyone that doesn't use a computer as much as an E-Mail administrator" You can't expect everyone to know enough about Spam to not be fooled by it. The reason people do get fooled is because they aren't all computer technicians. Everyone is good at something, lets not get carried away and blame joe bloggs for being.. joe bloggs.. after all, he might be the next automotive technician to fix your car. Why write off topic? Well, we do need to understand the end-user, they are the ones who see the benefit of our work, no? Are they not the ones who pay many of our wages? 2c/Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Parris [mailto:kpar...@ed.sc.gov] Sent: Saturday, 14 February 2009 9:43 a.m. To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: URI with spaces are not recognized Artificial intelligence will never overcome natural stupidity (or the clever ingenuity of criminals) ... if people actually DO that (copy the "url" and remove the spaces) there is some temptation to say they get what they deserve ... but on the other hand most of the spam/scam stuff out there is based on the premise that plenty of people are greedy, gullible, uninformed, overly trusting, stupid, or some combination of the above. >>> Franz Schwartau <fr...@electromail.org> 02/13/09 2:18 PM >>> C'mon...
