Daft ways to solicit link exchange

[temi]

There are some really stupid ways to ask for link exchange, here one of the from some idiots who has been spaming me for the past week, though I never had any link exchange arrangements with them, they claimed I have removed their link from my site, I though it was a real link exchange partner but then I received the email again and again though about 6 of my domains.

Subject: DomainName.com, have you removed our link?

We will check the above location within the next 0 days, and if we still cannot find the link, your listing will be permanently removed from the directory...

Think of it, Temi. Out of the 1 million + spams he sent out, he probably found a few hundred suckers who took the bait.

Sadly that kind of message does work, along with the countless other amounts of e-mail soliciting that litters your inbox. The one thing I can say is that my ISP has SPAM Identification on much of my e-mail and it makes it much easier to get through most of the crap without ever having to look at it.
