<\/p>\nSince I’ve disconnected from job search sites and taken myself off headhunters emailing lists, I’m no longer getting SPAM emails.<\/p>\n
In fact, I haven’t gotten any crap emails for weeks.<\/p>\n
This makes me think…<\/p>\n

I always knew “Free” probably comes with strings. But I never imagined that job search sites and \/ or headhunters would sell candidate information to unrelated industries.<\/p>\n
Yet that’s exactly what appears to have happened, at least empirically.<\/p>\n
For all I know some government or governments cracked down on the folks that have been plaguing us with SPAM.<\/p>\n
HAHAHAHAH! Government doing something like ENFORCING the law?!?<\/p>\n
I gotta find out what they’re putting in the coffee around this place.<\/p>\n
Although I suppose that some governments actually DO enforce the laws in their countries. Ours just isn’t one of them.<\/p>\n
Anyhoo.<\/p>\n
If any of you gentle readers have accounts on linkedin, dice, or monster, and you’re of a mind to experiment. Try closing and deleting your account. Then see if your SPAM levels drop. <\/p>\n
If they do… then perhaps it’s time to arrange a boycott of those sites. Target has taken a hit over the bathroom dust-up, what would investors say about losses mounting in a web service that’s supposed to be helpful.<\/p>\n
Just curious…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
