This is outrageous.

This showed up in my Hotmail box yesterday (2/27) and I absolutely can't believe it. Firt of all, the PLEASE HELP! subject is totally misleading, as usual. I automaticlly dismiss anything like that as spam, but sometimes I read them just to see what they're trying to pull. The next thing I noticed was that this jerk actually tells me how to delete his spam, as if I don't know that already... but the kicker is how the SPAMMER tells ME to promote proper "netiquette"!!!! Can you believe that? The nerve of this guy, telling ME to promote proper netiquette, when HE's the one breaking one of the cardinal rules of netiquette: NO SPAMMING! I swear, this subtle kind of insult is somehow worse than the "Sexy Katarina" types.
