title: Fun with Spam!
---

Nobody likes <a href="http://spam.abuse.net/">Spam</a>, and noone
seems to have an effective and gratifying solution.  Sure, you can
install <a href="http://www.procmail.org/">Procmail</a>, or use a 
filtered mail service like <a href="http://www.msgto.com/">MsgTo</a>
-- but where's the fun in that?  Do what I'm doing -- 
<a href="mailto:gilbertt@linuxbrit.co.uk">send your spam to Tom
Gilbert</a>.  As effective as procmail, but 10 times as 
gratifying!<br /><br />

I'm pretty busy today, but here's a few quick things to read: 
<a href="http://www.attrition.org/~modify/texts/mirrors/textfiles.com/100/billrights.fun">The Bill of Rights Lite</a> and
<a href="http://www.westegg.com/inflation/">The Inflation Calculator</a>.
I'm sure you've read about the <a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/07/26/2357235&amp;mode=nested">preliminary ruling against Napster</a> (and
the <a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/07/27/1315217&amp;mode=nested&amp;threshold=1">upcoming RIAA boycotts</a>), 
and I'm assuming you know <a href="/news/archive/#20000515">my
position</a>, so here's a funny parody called the
<a href="http://www.brunching.com/features/feature-metallicaletter.html">Open Letter From Metallica</a>.  It's a bit dated, but an amusing read 
anwyays.
