He says he's not a spammer!

Leave it to the Italians to trot out the same old "I may be a spammer, but it's ok, what I have to tell you is really important!" (note: I'm half Italian, so it's politically correct for me to rip him a new one - and if it wasn't, I'd do it anyway).

Read on the Americans Living Abroad Yahoo Group.

I won't link to the specific message, for obvious reasons, although here's his public e-mail address and private.

My name is Lorenzo Crescini and I'm Italian.

Oh, really. Good for you. I'm half-Italian, which is why I'm only quoting one-fourth of your spam. By the way, note the group name: AMERICANS. Not Italians, or morons, AMERICANS. Can you say "American"? Nope, didn't think you could.

These "Flashes on Good and evil" reflect the same mood characterizing the Flashes on the Holy Gospels and Turin's Holy Shroud I wrote in Africa: making myself useful to our Lord Jesus Christ.

I can think of other ways to make yourself useful to "our Lord." And did you know that not everyone worships "our Lord"? Next time, say "my Lord" - it's truthful. I have it on Good Authority that "your Lord" values truthfulness.

Of course there will be those who will accuse me of "spamming".

And yet you still wrote this message...

Such an accusation does not surprise me as it comes from the spiritual force of evil.

Doesn't surprise you because you are tight with the spiritual force of evil? Or because the moronic force of evil said so?

As a matter of fact, how can one accuse of "spamming" one who makes Apology to the name of Christ and not to his, leaving the reader free to read or not to read what's written in them?

Because it is spam. You did the easy thing for you, which cost me time and money.

And it's spam, because that last sentence is very hard to decipher. Maybe it's a piece of cake to understand in Italian, but see, this is an American list. But at least you included a single link, so when the spammee gets tired of trying to parse your drivel, they can click the one link in hopes of getting an actual message.

Go away.
