sex, pills and 419

Yes indeed, it is the nauseating smell of spam, canned[LOL, Ed.].

As a member of the online community since time and the internet began, and even BBS, I have somehow managed to avoid being spammed all this time. Don't ask me how, or do, allright -how? By being ultraparanoid.

Yes that's right, that is what the online experience requires.

Whenever someone contacts you in any way, or you see any kind of checkbox on a website -think: it's the mafia and they're after me and my family. Think M$ or google are nice people out to protect you? Think again.

No matter, today I received my five first spams. Mind, I do receive some "legit" spam too; that is, spam I asked for -and if I ask them to stop they stop.

But the people who sent me todays spam isn't going to stop. Au contraire, they'll keep at it, never get tired or unfocused, and they'll tell all their friends about me, the new mark.

This would be an xclnt time to get anew email address, I have this massive google account(2 gigs) that I only use for communicating with one person. Kind of a waste, but it's so hard making people note that you have a new address. I still get occasional mail on my first email address, which I haven't used for years and check once every 6 months.

Besides there's all these websites that identify me through my email-address. I don't remember all of them even. But they remember me. And if I get a new address there will be trouble. Bah.

The internet is a mess. Let's keep it that way.
