Is it just me?
I get a lot of spam...so what. I filter, I have dummy accounts, I delete, it’s just a fact of life. But DAMN, in the past 36 hours, it’s literally ten to fifteen times the normal volume! Was there a sale on bulk email rates this past weekend or something? Did I pee on some spammer’s mom? What;s up? And Gmail, which is pretty good with the catching spam thing, just let most of it blow by.
Holy mother earth, there was like, a deluge. It was like spam had cancer and my inbox was the chemo.

I think that a combined civil/criminal action, under existing precedents, would prove to be rather effective. The key is that not a single one should be allowed to slip through the net.
The main problem I foresee is the overseas crap. How do we solve that? Do we just put a UDP on them?

in light of the fact that i’m still using the same email address that i used to post to a.m.nin for YEARS with, and that you used to post to a.m.nin with (i still get emails for crackwhore@ and angelstark@ ;), the amount of spam i get is, for lack of better words, fucking insane!
i keep trying to remember to delete all and start fresh in the morning to see how many i get per day, but it’s quite scary.

I opened an e-mail that appeared to be from a friend, and my computer started shooting out porn like there was no tomorrow. I think it’s a virus that’s going around.

Right before I moved domains my @tr-radio account was getting about 10 an hour. It is really really nasty.
