The BAT (BCC Awareness Template)#

Sick of receiving emails sent to you, everyone you know and don't know, and their dog? Had enough of setting up yet another email account just because the signal-to-noise ratio is less than 7% again? Are your private bodily measures within reasonable distance from the average and not in need of corrective surgery? In other words, looking for an easy-to-use yet highly effective solution to the seemingly unstoppable spam problem? Look no further! Just copy the form below, check the boxes, and send out an anonymous mail to the violating person (preferably with a myriad of well-known spammers' addresses in CC).

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
