OT: Interesting Emails

[Ragnarok-X]

Well until i setup a new email address i got like 20+ per day. Now im getting one or two per day, which is okay...

Before I moved to Washington, I was getting 50-75 a day. I was in Washington for over 3 years. When I came back to Santa Cruz, I signed back on with my old ISP using the same nick since it was still available. When I set up my email account and downloaded new email......Yep, over 8000 emails and all of them spam, some of them pretty nasty spam that could have potentially caused problems, some nasty virii. It seems my ISP never deleted my original account and just reattached me too it when I came back. 3 years worth of spam, OH MY!!!
Needless to say, I asked them to delete that account and continue to use my own server account. On that one, I use 3 different email addy's and, surprisingly, receive an inordinate amount of spam at the seiv addy. I seldom see it, however, as I use a spam filter (GFI Mail Essentials) and have it set to delete weekly. I occasionally check to make sure it is not catching legit emails.

Before I changed E-mail addresses I would get about twenty a day on average.

Now if you want to talk about volumes of useful e-mail, you should visit my dads work e-mail. On good days he gets less than fifty non-spam e-mail (you know, from people he actually knows). He's said that he's actually gotten over a hundred non-spam e-mails in one day!!!

Another defector! The Evergreen state is GOD COUNTRY! Be sure to tell everyone down there to STAY in CA. Tell them that WA is a horrible backwards hillbilly place with dirt roads filled with horse and buggies.

Please.

I usually only get about 2 spam emails a day, and that's with the email address that I've had since I was 12. So for almost 6 years, I've managed to avoid becoming innundated with spam. It's a miracle!!

It sometimes surprises me the emails I get. Sometimes it simply says "Here is that attachment you asked for", I think not , or even no message at all. Either they are stupid or they think I am. I don't know which is worse.

Wouldn't it just be hiliarious if we found out that windows gathered our email information and then uploaded said info to MS and then MS sold that info to Spammers. I would drive the 300 miles to MS Corprate office and pee on the MS Sign out front. When asked why, I shall say the insessent spam email I got because MS sold my info drove me insane. Wanna bet I get off.... ew, ok bad joice of words.... get away with it.

LOL With a jury of your peers, MS wouldn't stand a chance. ROFL

I'm still training Thunderbird's junk mail filter, so I see much of my spam. ... If I bought a tenth of the prescription drugs offered to me I'd be stoned for the rest of my natural life and well into the hereafter!
...But the money I'd save would make me as wealthy as dear Mr. Gates.

Why is it that many people think 'Paying Less' is the same as 'Saving money'? It's not. To save money you need to stash it away for safe keeping. In the case of spending less it would mean depositing the 'difference' between the sale price and the regular price in a bank account so that it can gain interest.

But I digress, and this is my 2700th post

Cheers!

Well, it's semantics really, but you can be said to be saving money if you pay less for something that you were planning on buying anyway. But if the lower price inticed you buy something that you otherwise wouldn't have bought, then no, you aren't really saving anything.
