I recently received the following e-mail:
Hi gREG,
We recently contacted you regarding advertising for one of our clients.
We pay an annual fee to you as soon as the advert is live. It is a straightforward process and we work with you to make sure we fit naturally with your site. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll send you more details.
Would you be interested in selling us a simple text based advertisement on your website Imho.com?
I've never had advertising on this site, and I know I don't get too much traffic (especially to this blog). This likely has something to do with my frequency of blogging, but somehow I get caught up in things that are a bit higher of a priority for me.
That said, I'm not sure how advertising would "fit naturally" with a site that is designed, in part, not to have advertising on it. I'm also not sure how the capitalization of my name got quite so mangled (the shift key works the other way), but the fact that both this e-mail and the previous one mangled my name in the same manner indicates to me that this was blanket e-mail that was sent out to a large mailing list. And it's likely a list that I never actually asked to be on, so technically, this e-mail looks like it fits the legal definition of spam in this country.
