Email #3 thru 3 trillion

I still get that same second email from Nigeria (wonder if he ever his got his millions).
Ayyadurai collects endorsements aggressively (he’s very proud of convincing Noam Chomsky!)
Snookering Noam Chomsky doesn't appear to be too difficult. He is an anti-America, anti-Israel Socialist who would like to see the US to suffer at the hands of third world terrorism as a form of justice.

E-Mail Birthday Intrigue - NYTimes.com
September 6, 2012, David Pogue

The other day, I got snookered.

On Aug. 30, I tweeted: “Happy birthday, email! 30 years old today!”

(Whereupon a fellow Twitterite, @bschorr, responded: “Little known fact: the 2nd e-mail sent 30 years ago started: ‘Dear friend, I am Humabli Kiprotich from Nigeria…’”)

I tweeted my message because I’d received a press release about it. “Today, August 30th, marks the 30th anniversary of email,” it said. “While the technology that we live by has come a long way since it was first copyrighted, we are still using the same To: From: Cc: Subject: Reply, Forward fields.” The press release went on to plug an e-mail service.

I did a quick check — I found this confirmation on what looked like Politico — and then tweeted.

But then I got the most intriguing note from Thomas Haigh, a technology historian, chairman of a professional group dedicated to information technology history, and “career academic”— via e-mail. It went like this:

A colleague sent me a copy of your tweet, “Happy birthday to EMAIL! 30 years old today!” I’m afraid that you’ve inadvertently endorsed the propaganda campaign of V.A.
