Pudding guy email spam....
 

I can't believe I was just emailed a Pudding Guy article from a friend of mine. I was going to try and explain how I already knew but I figured she either wouldn't believe me or think I was nuts.

Damian: The day the Pudding Guy article appeared on WSJ, a friend e-mailed that same article. I told him I already know about it-and as a matter of proof, I included an e-mail from Jane Costello of WSJ thanking me for bringing the thread to her attention!

Wow! Just a matter of differing definitions here it seems.

When this happens to me, rather than "spam", I just think to myself how nice I was for this person to think of me AND to take their time to actually write me about something they thought I'd be interested in!

To each his/her own, I guess!

In response to Dorian below:

Yes, it would seem so- but did it say that in your post above? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Thanks for the clarification! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

doc, when an email is sent to hundreds of people at once i consider it spam....

I would suggest a different topic name, as "Pudding guy e-mail spam..." makes it appear as if Pudding Guy himself is spamming people. It isn't wise to post a topic name which can so easily be misunderstood.

When the PuddingGuy stuff hit the news, I had two friends ask me if it was me! The funny part is they did not believe me when I denied it.

Doc would love to be the pudding guy. I am extremely suprised that it isn't him. If only the calorie crunches could do the math like that guy....

Oh no

It happened to me today also.

A work colleague of mine who knows of my interest in FF miles forwarded an email to me about the goings on of a person who earned 1 million miles by buying puddings.

Tomorrow I'm going to show her the threads on the subject.

I thought puddingguy's effort's were great but the way things are going next they'll be nominating pudding guy for president...


I can just see him addressing America

'Let them eat pudding...'
