Yeuch!

 
This week my friends in Franceses had a plague of flies. Today I’ve got a plague of spam. Over 1,500 message trying to sell me Tamiflu.

Presumably other people are getting this. Look, if you’re thinking of buying from these people, allow me to point out that they’ve almost certainly paid for your email address with a stolen credit card and invaded lots and lots of computers with viruses to do the actual mass mailing. Do you really think they’ll give you what you pay for? Or do you think they’ll sell your credit card details to the highest bidder?
