Grant Funding

Here is what the email said:

Don't miss your chance! If you can't read or see this e-mail. Click here or enable image viewing on your browser.

I guess these people don't know that I do grant research for a living so there is really no need for me to click on their link. I wouldn't have done it anyway - who knows where that "click" would lead to?

Since the email didn't say anything about grant funding in the email itself - this is probably another clever ploy for you to click the link to go to their website.

I know that a lot of people don't know the "ins and outs" of grants and the whole grant program process. That is one of the reasons why I started my Grant Basics 101 Blog. If you visit my grants blog you will find some general information about grants and the grant process in general.

Since I didn't visit the link on the email I really can't tell you too much about them since the link was all that was provided in the email.

"If You Can't Read This Email.........."

Ever get the annoying email that you open and it says if you cannot view the images or see the links then "please click here" - this is supposed to be a clever ploy to get you to click on their link and go to their site! The problem is that you don't know what you will be getting yourself into if you click on that blue link!

Do You Belong To A Yahoo Group?

Do you belong to any of the many Yahoo groups?

I do. Some of the Yahoo groups that I belong to I have chosen to get the posts by email. Of those Yahoo groups that I belong to - not all of them are moderated which means that anyone can post to them which means that anyone can post spam posts to them - and they do.

I'm deciding whether or not to get rid of my memberships to those Yahoo groups that I belong to that are not moderated because the spam email that I get just clogs up my inbox.

I'm sure its easy to say that one should just delete the junk mail but when it is so much junk mail it becomes very annoying!

The Spam Blog

I decided to start this blog after an annoying session with my email box. About 50% of it was either spam mail or junk mail and some even had my real name on it.

It is just so very annoying to get so much junk mail and I didn't find a website that talked about it exclusively so I decided to start this blog.

Now who would want to read a blog about spam? How about the people that hate it!
