Let me just take a moment to say--

--that I have no idea who Eugene Gershin is. Yet my editor had what is written below e-mailed to her. The statement, "link to us from suedent.blogspot.com" makes absolutely no sense to me at all. If you recieve this in your inbox, just mark it as spam and move along.

Sue Dent


Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. Perhaps we have met online, but more probably you don't know me from Adam. I monitor blogs for (name intentionally deleted), and came across your post.

I'd like to welcome you to look at (name intentionally deleted. (name intentionally deleted) - an anonymous Israeli politician - writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.
(name intentionally deleted)is equally critical of Jewish and Muslim myths, and advocates political rationalism instead of moralizing.
Google banned our site from the AdWords, Yahoo blocked most pages, and Amazon deleted all reviews of (name intentionally deleted.
Nevertheless, 170,000 people from 78 countries read the book.

Various Internet providers ban us periodically, but you can look up the site on search engines. The mirror (name intentionally deleted)currently works.

Please help us spread (name intentionally deleted), and mention the blog in one of your posts, or link to us from suedent.blogspot.com. I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Best wishes,
Eugene Gershin

  1. Ahh, spam...lovely, lovely spam...what we do without you? Our email boxes would never get jammed, our blogs would never get filled with innappropriate material, and I'd never have ANYONE offer me free ringtones on myspace.

    Think about it - what kind of world would it be without spam? :)

    Now, SPAM in a can...that's different...

  3. Hey, Sue - I got this spam, too, but I deleted it without reading past the "you don't know me from Adam" bit. I didn't know the email linked to your blog. Hey, if you keep track of your traffic, see if you got a spike in page visits recently. :)
