OT- Junk Mail

[primitive]

And so sayeth Bill Gates:

Spam was, Spam is, and Spam shall be. After summer is winter, and after winter, summer. It ruled once where man rules now; where man rules now, it shall rule again. As a foulness shall ye know it.

Whether you get junk mail or not also seems to depend on how common-sounding your e-mail address is. For example, if your name is John Smith, then you will get a lot of junk if your address is something like jsmith@hotmail.com. But if you make your e-mail address JS66260755@hotmail.com, then you won't get much. I suspect that some of these companies that send spam generate e-mail addresses by taking a list of Last names and adding different letters or different first names in front of them, or some other common way that people use to come up with addresses.

Spam is a luncheon meat that comes in a rectangular can, similar to corned beef.

Hmm... guess my totally abnormal email address helps me not get spam.

That spam stuff that comes in cans is worse than internet spam by far.
