So, how's your spam box looking these days?

Novasol · 02-02-2006, 04:25 PM

Nowadays, we have relatively good filters to keep this junk out of our lives, but it's still amusing to read. How's the spam you're getting these days?

Mine probably isn't as bad as some peoples' around here, but I still find it vaguely amusing:

It's as if complete and utter inanity managed to coalesce with foreign languages and horrible stereotypes to form the fabled Fountain of Stupid.

I don't know what everyone is doing. I got under ten spam mails in all my years on the internet.

Still, some good can come off spam.

I have 0 spam. Thank you, G-Mail!

Seriously, when I had yahoo, I was getting 15 messages a minute. Then, I switched to G-Mail, and I haven't gotten one yet!

Yay me.

As Dvorak would say: "I get--no--spam!"

I really don't. Unless you're very prolific to the point of stupidity on the Internet, you'll be fine. I'll admit it's a problem, but with even mildly good e-mail services like GMail you're set.

I've been on hotmail for about a year now and I have'nt gotten that many spam letters...like 20 in a year....but my sister, she gets like 13 of them every day!!and she's on hotmail too...maybe it's because her e-mail starts with ''sexy''...I don't know...

Well, I've got 12 emails in my spam box on gmail. All of them are from things I signed up for and am just too lazy to unsubscribe to. I can't ever remember getting an email from someone I didn't know, or something I didn't sign up for.

I guess we all just rock.

I get no spam on my G-Mail account. I sign up to everything that I don't know is totally secure with my yahoo. Then I check my yahoo about every two weeks, delete all my xanga emails, and look for something coherent. Friends email me on my G-Mail. Works out ofr me =p

Well I don't bother reading much of it myself, mostly I delete it. Still, I have recieved a few from Garland, oddly enough. Of course, with my poor memory I can't remember what any of them were about, I do recall forwarding one of them to Brian however.

Garland, will your evil know no end?

Currently in my spam box on my yahoo account I have 200. Whee.

I think someone signed me up for something when they got mad at me or something. Either that or spam just loves my email.

Lost in Time · 02-02-2006, 08:17 PM

On my hotmail account, I get about one a day. On my g-mail I get zerrro. And then I check my yahoo about once a month and I get like 2000.
