Galaxies are not that big!
Take the milky way for example, our home.
Well if you stack up all humans on earth from head to toes (the whole 6 billions of us), well the milky way is only about 160 billions times that long!

And yet there are people who will fall for it.
And honestly, if someone is gullible/stupid enough to actually believe that email, they seriously deserve what happens. Get with the program, people!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The message, in a way, proves your point.
If Phishing wasn't still successful, even after so many years of warnings, then it's clearly still working. It only takes a very small percentage of a gazillion people to make one's fortune in email scamming.

And those are the people that they're targeting. It is a common tactic to deliberately make the mail transparent to people with a bit of nous because they will simply dismiss it rather than making trouble for its authors. The last thing they want is for people to be replying who will smell the rat later down the track and nearer to exposing them. The response of the OP is exactly what they want. Job done.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

That doesn't mean anything in terms of the phishers' identities. My web site got hacked and a huge number of html files and folders created on my server before I discovered it. I imagine that my website had a lot of phishing pointers to it and was therefore identified on blacklists everywhere, but I had nothing to do with the junk it hosted. My main regret is that I didn't know about it sooner (since nobody notified me). I discovered the crap myself.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I suppose so, but it's a different kind of creativity, like engineering.

Right now it looks like it could go either way - it'll be a close shave for sure.
