I’ve just been reading an article on the BBC site, where they are making some judgements about the 1.8 million emails sent out by Blair over the last day or two.

I really don’t like slagging the beeb off, but just sometimes they come out with such utter bullsh*t that it’s hard not to… I especially like the parts that say:

Last week I had lunch with someone who sends out 180,000 a week as a newsletter, which cost him £600,” he says. “That would make it £6,000, but it could be much less or much more.

… So basically they don’t have a clue… But then they go on to say:

It’s cheaper to send e-mails now than it was five years ago

Well nobody told me!! I think I might just go and send some more of these cheap emails we have these days…

Although sending e-mails is free for most domestic use, the platforms used by people at home have a limit on the number allowed, so a special e-mail provider would be required for a task of this size.

Again – complete and absolute boll*cks. You’d find it very difficult to stuff 1.8m emails down your DSL, but AOL users seem to be doing it every day (even if it is without their knowledge) (joke – har har).

Someone with a decent connection, and good communication with their ISP should have no trouble sorting this orchestrated spamming…. And thank god  whoever advised the PM told him that sending a jpeg of his smugly face with the email would make it too big .
