I'm too dumb to set up e-mail rules so I don't see spam. I didn't even understand Mal's post, because I didn't know there was such a thing as e-mail rules. Since we got our new internet connection, my new address has managed to accumulate 14 messages from someone I actually want contact with, and 251 spam. It's pathetic, because the come in threes--three identical mortgage spam or overseas prescription drug spam arriving at the same time. Sometimes six of each. Each one with a string of random words in the message title. It's dismaying to check in and find 30 new messages, all spam.
Can we include the death penalty for spammers? I already get more telemarketing calls than from people I know, and more direct mail advertising than real mail. You know what's pathetic? A day after getting our new phone service, we get a flyer in the mail detailing our new personalized voice mail, and I sign on to set up the answer and the mail boxes . . . and there are alread six telemarketing messages. [sigh]
