Yeah, I was actually kind of surprised it made it through myself. I figured Dino's spam filter would catch it too once I sent it. And this is a testament of how shitty Yahoo's spam filter is. At least when you use the free Yahoo mail. I did pay for one year and the spam filter actually worked pretty good, but my subscription expired during my last deployment, and that is when the spam started coming through, and I though that was crap that they only turn it on when you pay. So I made the switch to Gmail and I love it. Very few spam messages actually make it into my inbox which I love. And yes, if something comes through and they can't even put my name on it, but call me Dear Beneficiary instead, and somewhere in there is the word Nigeria, AND most importantly you can tell that the person who composed it either ran it through a translation program or just does not have a very good command of the English language, it goes right into spam hell. But none the less I do read them first just to get a good chuckle, not just because the message seems ridiculous, but also because of the millions of recipients that receive it, I know that there is a small percentage who will actually send them money. Once again proving that some people really don't need to be on this earth polluting the gene pool.
