When did the people in my spam emails start to have such unusual names?

I just got an email from Saumatra addressed to her "Dearest Jesper," and a quick peek at my trash folder reveals emails from Bhictoria, Eliezra, Hayley Bryan, Chance, Bernie Vinson, and the always ravishing Letha Lake.

Was there something wrong with the common, innocuous names spammers used to use? Surely those caused me to hesitate for crucial seconds before bouncing the messages back to their sender?

I can even remember a time, a week at most I think, when I was getting spam email ostensibly sent by some of my closest friends. Was that really just crazy coincidence? Or did some spammer give up his powers after falling madly in love with a mortal woman and leaving Faerie?

(Oh, and I'm going to be in Houghton this weekend. Supposedly it's the most wired middle-of-nowhere in the world, but don't expect any updates until at least Sunday when I'm back in B-town.)
