Open Letter to Automated Spammers

While it appears you are thrilled to have an access point to me via my new online “contact me” email form, rest assured I will not be reading your oh-so-clever messages inviting me to purchase your “VYAGGRA” or other similarly enticing items.
I fully realize you won’t be reading this, nor would you care if you [...]

What can I say?…
