Google looks to have put back at least the top-level scientology scam pages into their database. That's good news; especially if all the furious netizen linking serves to lift anti-scientology L. Ron Hubbard and Xenu and other general scientologist pages higher up in the Google rankings, despite the attempted ballot stuffing by the Church of Scientology.

Wrote to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary about the SSSCA and such (well, they did ask).

I haven't dared re-read it, so it may not be a good model to copy when you write to them yourself.

I've been running haiku over my spam mailbox. It's mesmerising:

List From: "Contact List"
Subject: I thought you should check
this Insurance out.

This is the letter
you have been hearing about
on the news lately.

This is a legal,
professional business with
endless potential.

Choose from corporate,
elegant, casual, or
even wild designs.

Believe us, we all
have tried to be greedy and
then nothing happened.

I was able to
pay off some old bills and put
money in the bank.

We offer some of
the best bulk e-mail prices
on the Internet.

AND I ASSURE YOU
OF ALL SUCCESS AND SAFETY

Please put Remove in

future mailing. Thanks.

for better results.

By providing a
valid feature it can not
be considered SPAM.

If you've come here by jumping up directories from the haiku link: sorry. All the fun stuff is still at NTK. I mostly did this site to see if I could write a blogging program.

This place is not a place of honor.
No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here.
Nothing valued is here.
This place is a message and part of a system of messages.
Pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us.
We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
