Rand Spam: The World Knew, and the Spammers Did Too

Earlier this week, I was troubleshooting an issue with our mail server and found a spam email sitting there that caught my eye (especially since I posted about it 10 days ago). Rand, you captured the hearts of many women, and you even caught the attention of the spammers. For that, I thank you for making me laugh. 🙂
