Food Safety 2022 have invited me to speak at their Food Science & Technology 2022 webinar. I am so honoured!

Well, me and at least 452 others, since that was the number of recipient addresses in the message's To: field. Suddenly, I don't feel so special. (sad)

Now, I've mentioned this before, but just to reiterate. Simply stating that your message is not spam doesn't make it not spam. It was unsolicited; it is commercial; I have not corresponded with these arseholes, my email address was harvested; and none of my work suggests an interest in food safety—sheeeit, I was cutting and deseeding hot chillis yesterday without gloves, and I have the skin burns to prove it. All of these are hallmarks of spam. So, it is a spam message, whether John Williams, if that is indeed his real name, understands it or not.
