Ok, it’s actually quite a limp link between the title and the topic, but it’s the best I could think of.

This thread is actually about spam e-mails.
At least 40% of the e-mails I receive each day are spam, offering me everything from discounts on Internet brides, to toasted cheese sandwiches, to Viagra!

I’m 20-years old. I don’t have any erective dysfunctions…yet. So why must I have some other guys dysfunctioning wang forced into my inbox?

Where do these people get my e-mail address from? I’m very careful with who I give it to. Does SR sell them to the highest bidder in order to make their real money? Are they indeed a global e-mail address-selling site posing as a games retailer? I have my suspicions.

Oh and by the by. You could at least sell it on to someone who is going to send me something vaguely useable. How disappointed was I to find I had to wait until only recently to receive my first bit of porn spam.

What really worries me though? What really makes me cringe when I receive that e-mail selling a toy that promises me multiple vaginal orgasms, “because hey! You deserve it girlfriend”?

It is that my Grandma, (who has been e-mailing like a pro for a year now), could be receiving the same thing! Hell, she could be sending it out!

End of rant(ish) thing.

They probably just guess it. At the top, it's probably adress to 1000 people with near-exact addressessi as you.

Ho-ho!

Slightly off topic but if you wanna avoid all that spam stuff, just get a Yahoo email account. Hotmail is the daddy of all that viagra/mortgage/xxx webcam (etc) stuff...threw mine away ages ago.

My spam count shot up after I gave my email to several Bittorent sites.

Never again.

The ironic thing is that Hotmail has the best spam filter of them all.

I simply block sender and all emails ending in [whatever] I only get about 2 a day now.

My ntl account gets on average about 40 emails a day.Despite blocking over a hundred senders through Outlook express.
