Pat’s Point of View

I actually find it quite entertaining to watch what spam I get. I don’t read the emails, just browse through the list of subjects caught in my spam filter.

I think some spammers out there are quite talented in the way they attempt to trick you or get around spam filters. It’s quite inventive how they spell key words or break them apart such that the spam filter can’t recognise it, but humans can. Rather like that viral email that went around a while back illustrating how you can jumble the letters of a sentence but humans can still understand it, so long as the first and last letters of each word remain the correct. We have built-in error correction :)
