Yup, that's the whole spam! poodle bourgeoisie? What is that crap? Did I just receive a test of the emergency spam broadcast system? If this had been a real spam a great offer would have been included?

3. I have one e-mail address that gets this crap DAILY...
...and because it's my primary Earthlink ID, I can't delete it (unless I want to close my account and open a new one...I don't).

They do this to test the filtering capabilities of ISPs (and people who use SPAM software containing a "white list" of words considered to be SPAM). By using "normal" words in a mixed up fashion (as opposed to "Enlarge your penis NOW" subject lines) the non-intuitive SPAM filters miss it.

Sometimes it's just the subject line, sometimes the message is a carrier for a virus. When I look in my Earthlink "suspect mail" folder and see a message with a size of 850K, I know it's not "innocent."

I hate these bastards...
