I never thought of it as mismatched targeted advertising before,
for some reason I thought spamming was either a really dumb process or
operated by humans, I didn't know that spammers went to the effort of
automated targeting, sort of thing that would produce a "HEY THEY LIKE
RAILS!" mistake.

Nor have I considered what racket programmers have to
endure on this front...
