Say “Nyet” to Spam!

Like pretty much all normal people in the world, every once in a while I take a look through my junk mail folder to see what’s been caught, and make sure that no legitimate messages have been hiding from me. And lately, I’ve noticed a strange trend in junk messages I’ve received through my website’s e-mail address. I’ve received at least five junk messages a day in Russian.

Look, I know that the whole point of sending out spam e-mail is to reach as many people as possible. But could you guys possibly try to at least send me messages in my own language? I don’t speak русский язык!
