-Dr.-who *bwahahahaha ... who*
:D
I found your blog because I got the very same e-mail and google the first sentence hoping to know if this was a hoax or not...
I actually think it's not a spam based on other blogs I found but I am still in doubt.
No this is definitely not spam, Surely they have heard of your success with Mondays and your now ongoing dealings with Tuesdays and find you to be a pioneer in Day Communication!!!
Hi there!
I got the same email today.
Since I do not consider myself important or interesting enough to be on such publication - I assume that it is spam.
Hello everyone - especially Karin and Volguen (first time commenters I believe)!
Sadly I think we will have to find for spam in this case. Like you Karin I found it a little bit baffling that I would receive such an email. Of course, as Cindy 2paw quite rightly recognises one day, perhaps in the not too distant future, the world will come to recognise my pioneering work in battling the various days of the week. Until then I think we must leave it as spam. It's definitely more interesting than the obvious "send me all your savings and you will become rich" spam. But, spam i think it is nonetheless.
