Get the enough already mug.The horrific emaelstrom that ensues after a spammer discovers that some careless email newsletter sender has left his email server open, allowing the spammer to send an offensive message to all the newsletter's subscribers, making it appear that the offensive message is from the newsletter.
Since most of the subscribers were wondering how the heck they got on the "newsletter" to begin with, their automatic reaction to the offensive message is to reply with rude, and sometimes threatening, demands to be unscubscribed. The server then relays all the rude replies to all the subscribers.
The replies from the subscribers who receive the rude replies run from legalistic to tearful, to even more rude and threatening than the original rude replies.
Perhaps one subscriber out of a hundred will recognize that none of the offensive and rude messages were intended specifically for himself. He may even try to persuade the rioters to calm down, but few of them will notice his pleas for reason amongst all the crap in their inboxes.

I get caught in a spam riot at least once every year or two. When that happens, I typically receive about 200 email messages per hour.

Get the web marketer mug.The best domestically produced mineral water, much better than Perrier or that Italian stuff. Like some of the other better things there are to drink, it comes from the geothermal region of California's Wine Country.
Their regular, non-sparkling spring water is just re-branded Arrowhead water, which is the result of both Calistoga and Arrowhead having been bought out by Nestlé.

Get the Calistoga mug.N00b slang for the alt attribute of the HTML img tag. Usage indicates a probability that the person speaking doesn't know the difference between a tag and an attribute.
When people get persnickety with me, saying that my NiDEs don't have Alt tags, I get persnickety back at them, and tell them there's no such thing as an Alt tag, and that I'm not an SEO spammer, so I don't put alt attributes in NiDEs.
