    So lately, I've been getting these odd e-mails from believable e-mail addresses, like just tonight, here's one I've gotten from greg-danis@hotmail.com:

    No, it isn't a secret message form aliens. It is from a bot mailer. Open nothing, do not reply, mark as junk, delete from junk mail.

    It is quite obvious that Greg is flirting with you.

    Nice one!

    Also, I don't open anything from Hotmail. Call me biased. Lulz.
