Time and Life and that would **** the system.
And my writing is so atrocious that plenty even
manage to **** up my last name, even ending
up with weird variations like Spego once.
Doing that, or even just inventing a variety of different fictitious
middle initials, can be a very good way of identifying where spammers have
got your name from.
Yeah, thats why I did that with the free trial mag subs.
If you only ever used a middle initial of B with Time, and with no-one
else, any spammers or junk mailers that use it must have got your details
from Time's mailing list.
