Dripmail

>From the "Fun with HTML!" page I am looking at in my first discussion
section for Information Organization and Access:

Today we will cover some exciting topics including:

* A brief history of html and why it's important
* Information about URLs (uniform resource locators or web addresses)
and web file structure
* An overview of html tags
* Information about WebFTP
* How to format text and modify page properties
* How to insert links
* How to insert images
* How to create tables


YAY!!!!

!!!!!!!

oi.

and the weirdest thing is, the pamphlets she handed out don't
contain any explanation of what organization these people are
from or any contact information whatsoever. so there isn't
even any jehovah's witness-type "let us teach you the way!"
nothing but "you are going to hell."

(that <i>was</i>, essentially, the tagline of a third girl's sign)

i want a firefox theme that makes it look exactly like netscape 3.

somebody should do this.

i fear it may have to be me.

So... it seems like self-promotion of a web site is not really what I
intended dripmail for. But whatever.

I certainly didn't intend it for meta-analysis of what should or should
not go on dripmail.

Wow.. I'm getting Nigeria-type scam/spam via Uber personals. Awesome.

Or maybe it's fake-ironic-scam email! Even more awesome!

Perhaps we should ban this person's account. (Or ban it "silently" like just
make it seem like her messages are going through, but they aren't.)

account in Bank here that he used my name as his beloved daughter for the
next of kin in depositing the fund. I should seek for a foreign partner in a
country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for

This is why I fucking hate challenge response systems.

Some asshole spammer uses my domain name in a forged header and I get
automatically generated email because of it. So annoying.

And if I continually mark messages like this as spam, my bayesian filters
will likely eventually filter out any legitimate challenge/response emails I
get, ensuring legitimate email I send doesn't get through to people. It's
just a fucking disaster.

It makes me want to respond to this email just so H.J. Agnew has to deal
with this shit. He wasted my time, so I feel justified wasting his. Thanks a
lot, assholes!

Subject: Mother
To: Adam Mathes <amathes@[xxx]

So there's this book I was processing called "Mother: Famous Writers
Celebrate Motherhood" with selected essays, stories, and poems from
Mary Higgins Clark, Maya Angelou, Amy Tan, Joyce Carol Oats, etc etc
etc

I imagined being at a reading in some prestigious room of some famous
library upon the release of this "Mother" book...Maya Angelou steps up
to the podium and says the first line of the poem ["Her arms semaphore
fat triangles"]...from the back, in the dim unlit corner of the room
you hear the clack of drumsticks keeping a beat...a distorted guitar
begins to growl its three-chord progression...Angelou desperately
tries to raise her voice above the growing din ["Pudgy hands bunched
on layered hips"] and the audience of pretentious fucks, sensing her
discomfort, doesn't swivel their heads toward the sound of Danzing
roaring to life but nonetheless shift uncomfortably in their
chairs...halfway through the third line ["Where bones idle under years
of fatback"], a soft spotlight lights the figure of Glenn Danzig, head
down and swaying, he croons "Mother/Tell your children not to walk my
way/Tell your children not to hear my words/What they mean, what they
say/Mother"...

Man, that shit is funny. I can just picture Maya trying to speak over
"Mother", raising her voice in that annoying tone/inflection she
affects when reading her trite bullshit, the audience trying to pay
attention to her until the chorus when Danzing finally just rocks the
fucking casbah.

DANZIG ROCKS!

DANZIG! DANZIG! DANZIG!

______________

They just released a new album, by the way.
