Some more spam, this one “with love” from “monique”:

come into it yet. But I do not at all complain of having been kept out of this property; and if anybody
my father’s great barns; and he played his part so well comes into his
hands, he will make a different sort of place of it,

Apparenly, that’s from Persuasion by Jane Austen. (Hey, I was an English major, but I’ve still only read one Austen book.) Weird. Are they hoping this filler will persuade me to click their link, even though I know it’s spam? Even though I don’t know a “monique” and, even if I did, she wouldn’t be sending me tiny chunks of Austen and clearly spam-filled links?

And this I don’t understand: why do spammers even use filler to begin with? Why do they use filler that’s just random pieces like this? Do they have such a limited grasp of the English language that they don’t realize cutting and pasting mid-sentence — mid-punctuation even — isn’t fooling anybody? Do they think, “Oh ho, if I slap in some in some random 19th-century prose, nobody will be able to resist my advertisement for Viagra rolexes! Muhahahaha!”

I just don’t get it. I mean, most spam is just garbage — a link or an advertisement. The ones that try to pretend they’re something else just tend to underline the fact that they’re spam.
