The e-mail below is from Cindy who was curious how she got on the (now defunct) JokeWallpaper.com mailing list. Earlier in the e-mail she mentions that she had just returned to school from a holiday visit to West Virginia. Plus note, her e-mail address is "Spyder".

Hi Cindy,
I think you were subscribed to this list by sheer chance. I have a thing for spiders! I
have 15 or 20 of them in a glass aquarium right here by my computer. I have been
fascinated by spiders since I was a child. Have you seen my "World Wide Web
Wanderer" desktop tattoo on the site? I just think spiders are cool. I have this
really big brown tarantula that I sometimes bring to work and have sit on my shoulder.
Sort of like Black Beard the pirate, but with a spider instead of a parrot. I do get some
strange looks from my co-workers and did get "talked to" by my boss, but he
stopped bugging me after I put my little friend in his middle desk drawer for a visit.
So to give my new newsletter a "good luck" boost I decided to e-mail it to all
the variations of the "Spider" e-mail address I could dream up. Started with
"Spideraa@domain.com" and worked my way down to "Spyderln@domain.com"
and that's how you got your copy of the newsletter.
Or if you don't believe that...how about the fact that I am a master computer hacker! I
hacked into the Marshall University computer system and into that medical list you
mentioned. Not only did I copy your e-mail address but I have your complete medical record
right in front of me. Would you like to know the results of that pregnancy test?
Or then again....it is possible someone else signed you up knowing that getting the Joke
Wallpaper newsletter is almost as great as getting free money, or better yet...Free Beer.
I could give you access to the full 51,529 e-mail addresses on the list, but since they
are classified, I would have to kill you after you read them. But I will give you a peek
at the e-mail addresses that were around your entry. If someone else did sign you it makes
sense that their e-mail address is there also. I don't have the date and time that you
were signed up..that would involve complicated CGI programming that is way beyond my
abilities or patience. Here are the addresses...
(actual addresses withheld)
Please use this information wisely! If the address you are looking for is not here and you
have a specific address you would like me to search send it to me. I will only charge you
$750 per hour, the same consulting fee I charge the CIA for such work.
Thanks for your nice note. If you are heading back to Marshall, good luck this term.
Thanks to your mention of West Virginia in your e-mail I now have "Take Me Home
Country Roads" by John Denver floating around in my brain. The only song I know that
mentions that state by name.
Yes, I am strange.
Have Fun
Steve Kremer
