...or for those who don't, really doesn't matter. Anyway, Google's privacy invaders, in exchange for allowing you to have unlimited storage of emails, will sift through all your communications and glean words and phrases that match words and phrases related to people who advertise on their site, hoping that you will see something that interests you, because you've already been using words like "goat" and "depilatory," and they just signed up Flenster's Goat Depilatory and Udder Wax as a Google Ad Partner, and so they'll throw a link to their website up at the top of the page--discretely--and hope you'll click on it.
ALL THAT, to note that Gmail has a folder for spam, which means that there are a tremendous amount of links related to SpamŽ, and SpamŽ-related recipes, and SpamŽ-themed merchandise.
But I have to say, some of the things are just not pleasant, such as this one that just popped up:
Spam Swiss Pie - Bake 45-55 minutes or until eggs are set
Something about reading that short phrase just makes my guts churn like an industrial washing machine. And I also have to wonder what the Swiss did to deserve something like this.
