ROTFL: What's wrong with this Author's description of his program?
Thursday, October 10, 2002 by geekboy2000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Is it me? Did I read this correctly? I had to share this one. The author of Spam Hunter includes the following description of his own $25 Spam Hunter application on WebAttack. First, the link, so you can verify that my eyes aren't playing tricks on me:

Now, the text that appears there at this moment, though he really does need to change this!

Spam Hunter is a very simple anti-spam tool that can display all your current mail on the POP server and allows you to delete selected messages and view message headers. The spam filtering options are limited to a black list of email addresses which have to be typed in manually, making them almost worthless, since filtering by email address alone has very little effect on the amount of spam you'll receive. Basically, all the program can do is list your emails, show the headers and keep a list of email addresses on a black list. Useful for deleting selected messages or to block certain senders, however completely useless as general purpose anti-spam tool.

At least no one will be able to say he made any false claims about it! I think it's safe to say he's not a marketing major.

Hum... That site isn't the software's web site. This is: http://www.avksoft.com/sh/sh.html What you typed Geekboy isn't the developer's description, but a REVIEW from WebAttack.com, which is only a download hub.

Yes, I realized that wasn't the developer's site, but I thought the information was provided by the developer. Gee, they sure hosed him! And me!

WTH?! Got a good laugh from that one, although I feel a little guilty laughing at such a moving sales pitch. I don't know whether to buy the software, or recommend a good therapist.
