Spam sucks, and the people who send it are weird

So I've started to get those emails titled "I went to your webpages-http://www.booboolina.com/...." The url cited in the subject line used to be my main index page. But since Monday, I've gotten about 5 of these messages, and the urls are all subpages, including archive pages and my about and recently pages.

That was the first weird thing.

The second weird thing is that I came in this morning to an email from JessaJune telling me that she had gotten an email with the same subject line - not for her site, but for mine. She is now getting my spam.

So I decided that the pain caused by following the link in the email couldn't compare to the satisfaction of getting in touch with someone and letting them know that if they did some research before they sent out email like this, they might get a more favorable return on their investment in the spam software. And it didn't have an identifier in the link, so they wouldn't know that it came from this email, so ...

I went to the link. It was just a form to fill out to get more information. So I went to the main index page. Weird thing #3: The only thing there is selected text from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and a poem by Dr. Zieba Shorish-Shamley.

Still no contact information. Jessa suggested that it might be a distractionary tactic. It's worked.
