I wonder if scammers are intentionally misspelling subject lines because most security savvy people will just delete those as obvious scams and move on. This would have a two pronged effect: 1. it would filter out security savvy individuals

You have described exactly how I feel about this subject. My solution wasn't to delete facebook though, instead I ended up unfollowing every person I've ever argued with and unliked nearly every page. This has turned my news feed

One might argue that having such a list constitutes bad faith. 1) It's dishonest to not inform your customers that they are to be systematically treated differently based on a secretly kept score. 2) Such a score kept changes the relat
