Let Everything Benefit You...
There is a saying I've often heard, I've always loved, and I've never known who originally said it. Feel free to enlighten me. It goes:
"I've never met anyone so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from them."
I think it was one of those three guys people always credit quotes to: Plato, Aristotle, Socrates. But I'm not sure.
It's good insight, no matter who said it.
And I bring it up because I have stumbled onto a gem in cyber-space. An article that makes the e-world a happier, fuzzier place.
Please read it for an enlightening perspective on spam. Maybe the writers of spam subject headers are the Bob Dylans of our generation. Okay, they're probably not, BUT, are they so ignorant that we couldn't learn something from them?

that's a great article. unfortunately i never get spam that tries this subtle approach to get me to read it. the subject line just always comes right out and says which body part of mine it would like to enlarge. alas, it is never my mind...
Lesson learned:
Pent up creativity can drive one to use any means of expression, even if it means writing an article about spam.
Excellent point. It makes me wonder if the original saying wasn't, "I have never met someone so anonymous that I could not learn something from them."
thank you for your comments
