Taunting Spam V

Well, another week has gone by, and what do you know, I got more spam. My company, Message Partners, has stopped too many spam mails to count, but I've selected the following one to taunt.

Here's the spam I received:

OEM software - pay for software only and save 75-90%!

Christmas discounts! Special New Year offers!
List of following email prices follow...

Begin taunt:

Walter Walter Walter. You are one of us, you obviously sell software, so you must know what's going on out there in the trenches. You kill one spam, fifty take it's place. And sure, they're mostly innocuous, but haven't you been following the latest news, Walter? What comes in with spam also includes phishing, and phishing is all bad. It's tricky, it's deceptive, and people lose a lot of money from it.

So enough of the emotional taunt, what's up with saying Christmas discounts. New Year offers. What is up with that? Where do you get your spam printed, Walter? What sort of lead time do you have to give them?

Oh, that's right, spam isn't printed, it's just crap repeated over and over again in a storm of email. So haven't you noticed it's February Walter!!! What gives, bro, can't you just change a couple of lines, maybe have a Valentine Software special. Timeliness, Walter, advertising depends on timeliness.

But you're beeper probably just sent off, and you have to go to a pay phone and see who it is and what it's about. Later, Walter, and I don't need any of your software, but do you need some of mine? It does a real good job of keeping out spam, spam just like yours, in fact.
