Advice for spammers

[kate_schaefer]

When trying to tempt random people to open the spam you send out by suggesting that you might be a long-lost friend, use "Mary" or "Jennifer" or "David" as the fake name, not "Potteiger F. Crysta".

Potteiger F. Crysta wouldn't even be a good name for a Groucho Marx character. Dude.

I once typed a data record with the name "Danvial Gilliam." I found the name simultaneously mellifluous and unbelievable, and I've remembered it ever since. I didn't know if the name belonged to a man or a woman, and I don't remember anything about the temp job in which I typed that name.

(Googled it, and found that he died rather young in 1989.)
