The “show me” part was a spammy looking link to: http://www.wmunger@feelgreatinthenewyear.com/r/ , whatever that is. The quote at the end is Arthur Dent’s reply near the begining of Douglas Adam’s best known novel “The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy” (and on the first episode of the TV series, just before Earth is destroyed) when Ford Prefect says, “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”

I received this one prior to that last one, and the subject line had me convinced that I’d written something online about a Line. I can’t place that last line, but it sounds faintly Arthur-Dent-like to me. There was no link apparent in the email, but when I pasted it onto a word processing document to annotate it, this URL appeared in the empty space:
http://www.wmunger@abahosting.net/ml/wel2.html?the=ry
Now I’m afraid of these URLs, because I think that if I go there I’ll be on a list of people who respond to spam.
