Are no scarify

Alva Levy at ubuyugoslavia@forevernet.pt sent me this email today with the above-referenced subject:

Where's there's muck, there's brass Don't mend what ain't broken. If you don't love yourself with passion, you'll love others with it. Passion is conserved. You can't judge a book by its cover. Attributed to Winston Churchill It's easier to turn falsehood loose than correct it everywhere it runs to

I really really need to talk about the underpinnings of nonsensical emails like this. First I decided that he was sending me a virus in gibberish code, but I've received other similar emails and my computer seems to be doing what I tell it to, so that seems to me to be a good sign. Then, I decided that Alva gets computer time at his mental hospital and needs to purge some muddled thoughts together between medicine intake and then send them out to various recipients in a "screw the world for confining me to a small confined space and putting me in a white jacket and giving me so little computer time" type gesture. But how would Alva get MY particular email? I need to understand. No one is trying to sell me anything. There's no stock tip, rolex offer, viagra prices, penis size reference, or any pathetic attempt to get me to give the sender my social security number, checking account, or any other personal information. So, what is it then? What does Alva Levy really want from me? Is he reaching out?

All theories welcome.

Ye Gods! He's been too long in the institution or.....he's been speed reading inspiring self help/quotation books, his brain is now wildly overloaded forcing him to regurgitate 'gobbledygook' to random email addresses...


...Ok it's lame, but plausible....
