I remember when I used to change this tagline on a weekly basis

To: Gmail Spam filter, Merry Christmas! From: Worm.Zafi.D

Thanks to whoever the a-hole is that got the Merry Christmas worm that spoofed my gmail address as the sender. I really enjoyed 12:35pm to 2:43pm when I received 560 bounce messages. Look at the screenshot below, and check out the times at the right and the number of threaded messages in parentheses:

Why do you have a Trash label?

I was experimenting to see how many of Gmail's "folders" were actually just special labels.

Heh. If you try and create a label like "Trash" or "Spam" or "Inbox" now you get an error: "System specific label names are not allowed. Please try another name."

I didn't even bother adding these up, maybe I will later. Either way, I think the point is that I'm supposed to have a merry Christmas.
