who *are* these people? - originally published 15 sep 04

Like most people, I receive hundreds of spam messages from people with fake names. Vern Lockett, Lisa Street, Marie Hobbs, Monte Woods, Thomas Addison, Ryan Woodward, and so on. Now, I know a lot of people. It's amazing to me that I have never--NEVER--had a spam message from a name that matched the name of someone I know.

An update from 9/26/04: My new favorite: Epifania Ho.

An update from 6/1/05: Grover Colon

An update from 9/12/05: Sixteen U. Whitefish

9/15/05: I got a stock tip newsletter from Jesus. I think I should buy.

1/23/06: Spinach H. Untangling and Musicology C. Gnome each sent me some software deals.
