Am I the only one who has been getting stream of consciousness spam lately? This latest one had the subject of ‘diagnose jerky,’ and the text stated:
“Unlike so many brides who have made their molten sandwich to us.When ball bearing near food stamp laughs out loud, coward about mortician daydreams.”
I have been getting a lot like this.

I was getting that weird stream of consciousness stuff for a couple of months but I think my spam filter finally picked up on it. Lately I’ve been getting lots of Russian spam.

I think I’ve read somewhere that it’s an ongoing attempt to defeat Bayesian filters. By “teaching” your anti-spam filters that ordinary “non-spam” words are spam, they hope that eventually you’ll have to dial back your spam protection… thus letting more of the crap through.
Alternately, they’re hoping that a high proportion of “non-spam” words in the mail will cause your filters to start letting spam through.
Either way, they’re bastards.

Fortunately, the stream of consciousness spammers have not yet found my email address, but I am sure they soon will.

I’m convinced it’s SKYNET pre-conscious musing. We’re doomed.

I’m thinking it’s probably a Chinese-to-German-to-Japanese-to-English Babelfish translation of something perfectly straightforward.
Or it could be the Bayesian thing.

You actually open spam?
