Coming Thursday: The TroxBlog Handy-Dandy Compendium Of E-Mail Scams

Thanks to all who responded to my request in Sunday's column to forward some of the more entertaining e-mail scams they receive. On Thursday morning I'll post some of them here on TroxBlog by category.

Having said that, can I make a second request? You'll laugh at me. YOU CAN STOP SENDING THEM NOW. I swear, I have read so many that I am getting them in my dreams... dear honorable sir/madam, I know my message must come as some shock and surprise to you...

About This Blog

Welcome to TroxBlog, the web-home of columnist Howard Troxler, where he and readers discuss his column topics and current events. The goal here is to focus on the merits of issues, instead of personal attacks or knee-jerk partisanship.

Howard Troxler has been a St. Petersburg Times metro columnist since 1991. His print column normally appears Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on page 1B.

Born March 19, 1959, in Burlington, N.C., Troxler writes a mix of reporting, analysis, satire and commentary on state and local matters. He considers himself politically unpredictable with libertarian leanings ("I'm for gay marriage WITH gun ownership") but readers routinely conclude he is hopelessly biased against whatever it is they happen to be for. He is married with no children and lives in St. Petersburg.
