I don't think all spammers are using
copyright material to avoid Bayesian filtering. I received some today
that are using public domain material—one using a section from Jack
London's White Fang (and funnily enough, trying to get me to
refinance Condo Conner, which I sold last
year!—okay, okay, I lived there for 14 years but still, you'd think
they could update their information) and another one using a section from
Rudyard Kipling's Rikki-tikki-tavi
(which is yet another one trying to get me to refinance Condo Conner).
But then I get another one, this time quoting from an essay about Bill Gates,
so there is still hope of getting DMCA on their ass …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
