I get a lot of interesting invitations in my email, and by that, I mean a lot, and ‘interesting’. Gmail’s spam filters are quite aggressive, but my institution no longer allows us to forward our official email to private accounts, so I’m seeing much more of these offers.
Invites to dodgy conference, editorship and/or authorship of dubious publications, and yes, even the occasional opportunity to inherit large fortunes or become a prince: I get them all.
This one, however, really stands out. Joining the original (although by now much improved, see below) secret order running the world? As you may imagine, I wrote right back to the good Freiherr and am now a fully accredited member of the Elite Family.
If you have an invite code, please think of me!
