Because they aren't annoying ENOUGH!

You know those emails where they send a picture of a text message to defeat spam filters? They are now sending out MP3s of text-to-speech as well.

at least that one is easy to block off.

I got one today. Oy.

I've never really understood non-text spam. It just makes them much, much easier to block.

"Does anyone at all need to be sending me a blank message with an attachment? Of course not."

Now get a luser to say that.

Since when do they get any say in the setup of their filters?

Or, if they complain, turn over the management of their filters to them completely, until they whine that they want it done by you again.

My last job was problematic in the "She's been working here longer than you" routine. As if my job is to cater to those with tenure.

So for those people, they had all the say in the world. If they were pissed, off to the CEO they went.

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

Ah. In which case, it's fun to make them think they're going insane instead.

But hey, if they want to manage their own filters and deal with the result, who are we to argue?

I remember the first time CNN.com started using ads with sound. They earned a permanent place in my Restricted Sites zone list.

(Though Firefox makes it so much easier to block that stuff. I love you, AdBlock!)
