Gotta Love Spam!

I got the oddest spam message this morning - the body made no sense, and had no real message in it - it appears to be just random text, and my guess is that it's being sent out just to wear down the spam filters and see what can get by them.

But that's not what stuck out about the message: it was the subject. "Tim Huckaby is a Microsoft Regional Director and a respected international speaker." This was to our Tourney Logic support account, so it's not an email that gets registered on "geek sites" - if it came to my personal email address, that would be a little more understandable, but this account is a pretty generic one.

By the way, I've met Tim a couple of times and he is a great speaker, but I didn't know he was popular enough to be spam fodder!
