Greatest spam ever

I've just had a spam message to the Dave and Al Feedback page, which says:

Some of my clients are searching online for different types of sheds. My
job is to find one place to send them to.  I'd like to discuss an
arrangement with you about this.

At first this seems in no way related to normal spam, but makes a weird kind of sense when you realise that on the Dave and Al site we have Al's Shed. I just found that funny, the tenuous link between trying to sell us something (which I'm sure is what the spam was really about) and a single word on our site. I wonder how many others get spam like this, just because they perhaps mentioned they were going to buy a new shed this weekend. Damn, I;ve mentioned it again; now I'll get even more spam.

Haha - bet you'll end up with shedloads of comments and spam about this post ;)

Maybe you'll become the Shedmaster, in a similar way to James and his posts about mothkind: http://blogs.ipona.com/james/archive/2005/05/09/1057.aspx

Kind of off topic... but not spam :P I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed reading your books! You're a great writer as well as teacher :). At first I picked up one of Sams ASP 3.0 publications, and returned it in about an hour! I had previously purchased Ivor Horton's C++ so I knew Wrox made quality books. I picked up ASP 3.0 and it was very thorough, simple, and informative. So, thank you :). If you are in touch with the other authors please congratulate them as well on the terrific book! I just happened to come across your block, and I was too lazy to e-mail you :P. Cheers
