Allow me to indulge myself – I just read a fun, short post from Inc.com titled Spam, Where Art Thou?<\/a> The author has some highly entertaining metaphors (and similes) in the post regarding her company’s new high-octane spam filter:<\/p>\n

This new filter, by contrast, is very efficient; cleansing my inbox of undesirables and dumping them all in spam ghetto, from whence I receive reports several times a week. Occasionally I find something like my CEO\u2019s note has become accidentally trapped, and I release it like a dolphin from tuna nets. Generally, though, I just scan the subject lines.
