Saying that with my best Billy Burke voice....
I had some time today to wander through the junk file and clean things up. While mail.app is doing an admirable job of keeping the rolex and porn ads from my main mailbox, sometimes stuff I want to see gets caught in the net as well.
So I was picking my way through the junk mailbox today, and noticed what looked oddly enough like religious spam. A quick text search later, and I had five emails from the past two months, all of which appeared to be follow-up emails from LDS, um, missionaries (lack of a better term here), wanting me to send them more info so they could send me a nice copy of The Book of Mormon and perhaps have someone start up a dialogue.
Okay...
My first thought, after looking at all of these, was "whoa, that's some pretty interesting phishing going on here". A run through the raw source, and a quick run through search engines indicated that these were legit.
And polite--very polite. And really, really nice.
Now, I've been baptized Catholic, and then baptized Presbyterian (A long story, and since I wasn't exactly paying attention at the time, something I know only through third party accounts). I'm really not interested in pulling off a religious Trifecta at this point.
But at this point, I'm not sure if I've ended up on a mailing list, someone is making a comment, or someone needs to talk to me.
