Ruse You Can Bruise for 2004 January 9

Today I received a piece of spam whose randomly-generated sender was "Horology K. Pullet," which conjures images of a great snake-oil peddler from yesteryear. "Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Be the first to try Dr. Horology K. Pullet's Patented Male Potency Restorative, and Low-Interest Home Refinancitive! You there, sir -- you look like a man who needs 50,000 names and addresses on a single CD-ROM!"

And one received some days earlier had the subject line "rQgVK authority is violence" which was pretty eloquent. Actually, I think Louis Saint-Just said it first. Or maybe he wrote to caution me about the Rqgvk Overlords.
