In Response To: How much Spam??? (Brian Nystrom)

Yes I do get that much.
As of 2:00 pm today I've gotten 62. Herbal diet pills, free credit cards, credit repair, breast enlargement pills, penis enlargement pills, refinancing, get rich quick schemes, college degrees at home, & lots of other crap- not to mention porn site ads.
The porn ads are the easiest to deal with, because they usually make it clear by their e-mail address or subject message what they are. Most of the other ones are obvious too, but some use an e-mail address along the lines of shippingdept@ whatever.com or info@, or some generic company name. Then they put in "regarding your order" or "payment recieved" or something along those lines to try & get me to open & read their junk.
I usally just read the email addresses & skim over the suject. If I don't recognize either- I delete them without opening first.
I do believe Vaclav sent the messages as he said he did. I must have deleted them without a second glance/thought.
I set up a free account with hotmail last night. I'll use it until it gets spamed- then I'll just get a new one & abandon the old one.
I also have a fax line, & I uasually get around 3 ads per week- from cell phone & beeper companies. I used to call them whenever I got one & tell them to take me off of thier list, but it would be immediatly replaced by THE SAME ADVERTISEMENT with a different company name. I gave up along time ago & just accept that I'm going to get unsolicited ads to some degree no matter what I do. What I think is pretty strange is that I can't even remember the last time I got junk mail.
