Alex: I met a woman who named her son “Tevyer” (sic) because she was in a high school production of

I also tried two emails one of which had “Taiwan” in the subject only and one which had it in the body as well.

Actually, since I started using gmail, I have not had to create a special purpose filter on my own platform (or even inside gmail). It appears that the gmail filter works very nicely at google’s system level.

Once a message gets through and I declare it as spam (at gmail.com) the google system filter blocks it very nicely.

Of course that means that I should first look at the mail via the web rather than my home platform first, but that is not really a problem.

I have tried an e-mail myself, Meryl, mentioning–this is true–that last week I had a client whose name, spelled “Tywan,” was in fact pronounced “Taiwan.”

On the other hand, a couple of weeks ago another client proudly showed me a picture of her six year old who is, indeed, a cute kid and whose name is “Camry.” Like the car. After the car.

I wonder what would happen if I titled a post “Taiwan” now….

Got none of your emails, by the way. The filter is killing them on the server. So much for my relationship with anything Taiwanese.

… because we all know it’s good marketing to harrass your customers to death with server-crushing amounts of spam. If you didn’t buy a product after one unsolicited 4M movie, maybe you will after receiving a thousand of them.

Sort of like the cliche’ about the guy who tries to pick up women with horribly cheezy one-liners. He is asked “does that ever work?” He answers “no, but all I need is one.”
