OG spam mail - My uncle!
I just found out my close uncles brother was the original creator of spam. His name was Gary Thuerk.
the earliest documented junk e-mailing I've uncovered was sent May 3, 1978 -- 25 years ago this month. (It was written May 1 but sent on May 3.) And in a surprising coincidence (*), just a month ago marked the 10th anniversary of March 31, 1993, the first time a USENET posting got named a spam. :p |
that's actually pretty cool.
