Plaxo.com: Spamming scum.

Not only do they send unsolicited bulk commercial email, faking "oh you should join" messages from people who don't exist, but they ALSO insist that you personally visit their site, view their ads, put in your email address *and* click-through a "confirm that my email address is live so that it's more valuable to us when we sell it to other spammers in the future" link.

Fuck that. UCE is spam. Anything that wants you to opt-out is spam. Demanding confirmation of an email address in response to UCE while asking to opt-out? SPAM.

Plaxo.com are spammers. If you use plaxo for any reason, you are an idiot and you deserve to be punched in the lung.

I've been there - it's a very interesting place. Unless I'm mistaken, that shiny box near the top is the golden reliquary that holds the bones of three men who are supposedly the Three Wise Men.

Try looking at the picture with just one eye open.

Canada's Interim Placeholder Government decides once again that sane and humane policy should take a back seat to ideological purity.

As

mightygodking put it: "Because god knows, everybody ever sentenced to death completely deserved it and the state never makes any mistakes in this regard. Especially not the United States."
