Gresch,
Thanks for that opt-out deal: I did it...hope it slows it down.

And, thanks for the suggestions, All...I use Norton and a lot of
the spam does get shunted off to the spam folder. But, the stock
pumpers and the endless mortgage offer idiots are getting very
creative and their use of headers, etc. is allowing for a lot
to get "passed over" by my Norton.

I also comb through my Spam folder daily, to make sure legit
stuff didn't get tossed there.

The CanSpamAct and all the other arm waving crap is just that:
so much bs; it has slowed or, reduced nothing.

I've even filled out a few "offers" with jive names and info, basically
filling in the lines with a version of "go fook yourself" jes' to give
the 8 buck an hr gum snapper more work.

We used the Don't Call Registry 2 yrs ago and the telephone
calls simply Stopped! I wish there was a similar thing for this
spam crap.

I sometimes read the Nigerian Sob Story Millions stuff or the
newer International Lotto Winner crap for fun, and even send
them on occasion, a basic go Fook Yourself email reply just to
make myself feel better.

I would mow grass at our club before I would sit around doing
bot crap and mail merge, to send out hot stock picks or Get A
Woody pills spam or...etc.

I'll shut up about this, for awhile.
