I really do not want to visit “Pousada do Tortinho”, or “irme de vacaciones!” to Miami (especially seeing as everyone got the same “numero de promocion 31″ just like me). I have no interest in your “CD with 5 million e-mail addresses”, not even if your program can “mail efficienty five thousand addresses a second, from any other address, untraceable IP in the header!”. And I absolutely will not call “1-800-…” anything to have my e-mail address removed – if your program is so good, you should know better than to mail an address ending with .br.

I want no CDs of progressive rock, alternative rock, indie rock, and I especially do not want anything from any band from Argentina. I will not go to any concert in Buenos Aires, or Barcelona, or Mexico City, or Tijuana – no matter how big a discount you give me. And please believe me when I say I will not do it, not even if I can go with one of the bands in their tour across Chile!

I did not give you my e-mail address when I visited your site, for I never visited it. I have no interest in your potted plants, in your seeds, and not even in your very powerful guaranteed pesticide and herbicide that will solve all my problems. I do not want a new and improved way to water my garden. I need no replacement water register, I do not care if 20% of what comes through the pipe is air.

I do not give a damn if you are mad a Fidel Castro – I already am, so you do not need to convince me of anything. I do not care to know what some American journalist said about the politics in Venezuela – I am much closer to it than he is, I know more about it than he does. I especially do not want these articles in Spanish.

I wholeheartedly affirm I would like to see a corpse covered by flies and cockroaches when the e-mail address for removal from the list is at Hotmail.com. I wholeheartedly affirm I would like to see ten dozen corpses covered by flies, cockroaches, slugs and rats when I see the e-mail address for removal is from a site specialized in filling my mailbox with offers of pousadas, vacaciones, list of addresses, mass mailing software, progressive and alternative and indie rock, shows I would never see in cities I could not reach in less than a month worth of paperwork, plants grown or in any other stage, pesticide and herbicide, watering equipment, water register, articles about Fidel Castro’s evil and Venezuela’s strike in Portuguese or Spanish or English.

(This Journal absolutely needed a post about spam. And, odd as it may seem, I get very little pornography and body parts enlargement offers.)

Thank you for your attention.
