Every day, my junk e-mail account gets at least half a dozen spam emails, all from the same group of organizations.  The subjects are almost invariably the following:

  • Find Christian Singles in your area now
  • Great Work from home opportunities available
  • Free trial of [insert whatever Oprah currently claims is the secret to great health and good looks]

Let’s get this clear.  I am a seminarian.  I have no interest in meeting singles in my area or any area.  I have no time for a job, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be allowed to have one.  And finally, I don’t care what Oprah thinks is the secret to a fabulous life.  I couldn’t afford it anyway.

So to you spammers out there, if you’re looking to grab me, try offering me discount clerical attire, or free spiritual books.  Thanks.
