Strange, I got one of those annoying 'chain mail' emails about the same time ... except it was pure gibberish (apart from 'moc.smuroFscisyhP@raebnooM' in the "From:" field) ... I'm sure it was *completely, totally, absolutely* unrelatedMoonbear said:Yeah, except I got that message last night as I hit submit reply, and my post vaporized into cyberspace while I was fiddling around resetting my password. Now the world will never know the wonderful pearls of wisdom I had typed out to share last night, and I must say, it was my most eloquent, thoughtful, insightful, revelation of earth-shattering news ever! But you'll just have to take my word for it now.

(Moonbear knows I love her)
I didn't mean to insult Evo 
But she knows what I meant (I hope). It wasn't a post that involved tracking down quotes from 6 different references with links to the supporting literature, which would have really frustrated me had I lost something that required so much effort. Then again, I usually compose those posts in textedit first since they are quite involved and include a lot of copying and pasting of things I wouldn't want to lose before completing the message.A "Weird Message" is a vague term that can refer to any type of strange or unusual message that someone receives. It could be an email, a text message, a voicemail, or any other form of communication that is unexpected or confusing.
It depends on the specific message and its contents. Some "Weird Messages" could potentially be scams or spam, while others may just be harmless pranks. It's always best to err on the side of caution and not respond to any unknown or suspicious messages.
There are many potential reasons why someone might receive a "Weird Message." It could be a mistake, a prank, a scam, or a message from someone who has the wrong contact information. It's also possible that the message is intentionally vague or confusing for a specific purpose.
Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to prevent or stop receiving "Weird Messages." However, you can reduce the chances of receiving them by being cautious with who you share your contact information with and avoiding opening messages from unknown senders.
If you receive a "Weird Message," it's best to ignore it and not respond. If the message is threatening or harassing, you may want to consider blocking the sender or reporting the message to the appropriate authorities. It's always better to err on the side of caution and not engage with unknown or suspicious messages.
