Norgdom

Firstly, I’m not advocating spam here, especially after the fine dished out to a Perth spammer this week.

But last night my blog received a number of, what I can only call, ‘philosophical spams’. I’ve recieved the generic “this is great 1,2,3″ and “this is interesting point” spams. The difference is that these ones were a little more thoughtful.

Let me give you some examples (my comments are in brackets):

• Too much knowledge makes the head bald (I can think of a few people who would be pleased to hear that).
• Custom is the plague of wise men and the idol of fools (still working on this one, but I think there is a message for new media in here somewhere).
• Between two evils ’tis not worth choosing (I reckon this really depends on what the evil is :)).
• Better to go to bed supperless than rise in debt (wise advise for all of us currently involved in start-ups).
• The scalded dog fears cold water (mmm, very deep)
• An evil chance seldom comes alone (you’re not kidding - I received 12 of these emails in 5 minutes).

Anyway I share them with you to reflect on!
