Q. WHO SENDS ME THIS?
A. HUMANS (FRIENDS), MACHINES (BOTS, SPAMS, MALWARE), SEE: My Yahoo IM sends Spam Messages) and Characterizing Botnets from Email Spam
PEOPLE SEND AND WISH TO SPREAD WHAT THEY LIKE! BUT, DO YOU APPRECIATE, RESPECT, FORWARD or DELETE, MARK THESE AS SPAM, or EVEN BLOCK THE SENDER?
From another site, extract:
Who would do such a thing? The same sort of people who have perpetuated some of the top urban legends such as the claim that Mr. Rogers had a former secret career as a trained assassin, and that ATM users can quickly contact police in the event of an attempted robbery by entering their PIN in reverse. The cyberspace is full of lies disguised as inspiration, political alerts, health warnings, and prayers. Many come complete with enhanced photographs. The ones that are especially ironic are those that state, “Even Snopes has confirmed this,” along with a link to Snopes that attributes it as false. People who forward such emails, obviously do not check the link themselves. (source: To Forward or Not to Forward? By Patti Maguire Armstrong catholicmom.com)

I r3ceiv36..sorry, I received one such email today from a family member in the Middle West, and I present it here in its entirety.
The subject line read simply “The dead cow lecture.” That alone was worth the price of admission and grabbed my attention straight away. I have no idea if this really happened at my esteemed institution of higher learning or if it’s completely apocryphal, but I glowed with pride when I read it.
I can only hope that the information I pass on to my students is as practical, profound and utterly gross as the information that this professor passes on to his: THE DEAD COW LECTURE..." continue reading the story
