A very belated correction. Probably I get about a five-hundredth of the mail that Instapundit gets but since I'm about a six-hundredth as good as coping with it, I have problems. I may perhaps possess a spam filter. I think someone said something about something being included with the upgrade. The fact that I don't know tells you all you need to know.
The only spam filter I'm really sure of is my deleting finger. The moving finger deletes anything in capitals from THE DESK OF Mrs Dead Dictator and having deleted, moves on. Not all thy piety or wit can lure it back to uncancel half a line, but fortunately AOL do have a box for recently deleted emails.
I was dismissing a whole pile of stuff from last month unread when some twitch of conscience made me go back and look at this one:
I think you've been misled by not being able to see Jeff Quinton's site - the terms he lists are terms that showed up in searches for *his* blog, not
"the top 10 search requests".
The fact that his site is a political blog that discusses Nick Berg extensively, and hits near the top in Google for most of the combinations he lists, is very relevant here - I'm sure people in general are still busy searching for (terms that I shan't list, thinking about it, as they'll
probably trigger your spam filter. Mostly relating to unclad pop and sports stars and/or free music, anyway).
Best,
John B
John B is referring to
this post. I stand corrected.
Incidentally, when I'm on top of things I do read all the emails that look as if they are from normal people. In May I wasn't on top of things. I mean, except for the chair. And that was on top of the floor. I had to be on top of them or I would have fallen to the centre of the Earth. Nor can I guarantee to read all emails from normal people when on top of irrelevant things like Mont Blanc, although I will make every reasonable effort.
