Spam is like AIDS, everyone thinks they wont get it, then they get it and they like, how'd I get it? Then they dont want it. I made peace with spam a long time ago, thats probably also why I have like 300 unread mails.....

The new Microsoft Outlook that comes in Microsoft Office 2003 has an anti-spam / junj email filtering thingy that detects as much spam as possible and routes it to a junk mail folder. Seems to work for bout 8 out of 10 of all of the spam which is better than nothing. Seems to be doing the trick for me.

So i sent them a reply and "asked" them why they keep sending me SPAM and where they got my email addy from.... "They" replied but all they said is that "they will remove my address ASAP... " wonder if it has anythng todo with the fact that i cc'd the website owner/admin/sales/whoever else's emails i could get and promised to spam em with exotic nigerian pron and scam mails if I receive 1 more of their mails ?!?!

I figure its an automatic response as they figure anyone who would reply would be emailing to ask to be removed. Bit of a stupid automata if it is what i say. But dont reply to SPAM - it only confirms that your email address does indeed exist and they will continue to spam you.
