Sax Maniac's Journal: Karen Valdez & Stefan Zdanski... who are you?

Like everyone else, I'm awash in spam. All the names are fake of course, though we seemed to have lately changed over from really bad ones like "Asymmetric Q. Palindrome" to more normal looking names. All these names seem to be totally random, with no two messages coming from the same one.

Except two: Stefan Zdanski and Karen Valdez. Over and over, these two names are reused in the sender column, subject, body. Years pass. Ice ages come and go. But Stefan and Karen are still there, clogging my inbox.

I got sick of it long ago and put a filter on those names. But every once in a blue moon I check the spam folder and... well, hello Karen! Nice to see you again! It's like I'm being stalked.

This raises some questions:

Does everyone get mail from these two? Or has somehow a spammer decided that I have my own two private imaginary friends? If it's just me, are the world's spammers so organized that they have a special list of two fake names to use for my email address? For what purpose? Perhaps these are real people, joe-jobbed by spammers? Or maybe the patron saints of spam? Anagrams of something? Someone help me!

I just searched through a couple of spam folders of my own with over 1000 spams, and find no reference to either name, and also can not see any alternate frequently repeated names. Maybe it is just you.
