“That”s right: I was being spammed in person.”

I hear the six-and-a-half-foot 250lb ones are especially persuasive. :)

It’s pretty bad when they come up to your booth and make the pitch BEFORE you can even pitch them. I had about 8 casino guys solicit me while working our booth.

This guy did come up to me while I was chatting with Osh from MSN. I asked for his card and he is from Gaming Promo. He seemed very new to the SE game and the guy commented to me that he was located off shore and we couldn't touch him. The guy needs to learn that the affiliate SEOs do not hang around the booth floor but are in the lobby bar drinking in the early afternoon.

That’s pretty funny. I wish he’d walked up to me. :)

Eric, I’m sorry that we didn’t get to talk about the toolbar–I hope to get a chance to at some point in the future though.

That reminds me of that Dave Chapelle skit: Now in Real Life.

And then tried to sell him some \/iag|ra.

If he beat him up, guess who would get in trouble and potentially prosecuted.

As Eric earlier said:

Ah… the sweet, sweet taste of irony, mixed with bold hints of utter cluelessness. So delicious.

You mean you actually had the chance of physically beating a spammer and you didn’t do it?! :)

He had the kind of smooth English-Australian accent so favored of infomercial hosts and lower-grade movie villains.

Aww, but we’re not all spammers or infomercial hosts and lower-grade movie villains though!! ;)
