Prayer for Spammers
Written by Rosalind Gardner
If you tried to access the site yesterday, you probably found it a slow load - if it loaded at all.
That’s because some dastardly, rotten, no-good email spammer hacked into the server and used a forgotten test blog to send upwards of a quarter million emails. The server crashed, but fortunately my fabulous web guy, Steve, at DataWebPro, brought her back to life again.
Now, you may remember that Steve provided me with an incantation to solve database errors.
Well, I have a prayer for anyone affected by spammers and it goes like this:
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch… AMEN
Many thanks to my nephew Andrew for sending that prayer to me. I’ve had it up on my bulletin board for years, and always knew there would come a good time to share it.

Wow! I am new around here, but just wanted to let you I was shocked to read your post, but really appreciated the prayer. I’ll keep that nearby in the days to come. I’m getting ready to take the Bar and I have a feeling I’ll need it!
How’s your cat?!
Rosalind - that is bad. Did they email your own mailing list, or just other people? Your chosen punishment for them is definitely justified.
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Oh my!
Seems like some people won’t just change their ways until they get caught.
I guess that would be job of some kids.
I hope your tech guy can view the logs and pin-point the ’smart brains’ responsible for the flops.
But please don’t curse!
