I hear ya, but it seems to be a constant stream of spam. I used to use a separate email account at work when I posted to forums for tech support issues, and only wish I had continued that practice. We used to make accounts like "spam1-josh@ ... ", and then a few weeks later it would be renamed to "spam2-josh at ...", and so on. I wish I had done that this time. O-well.
If only spam could be "censored".... :) -----Original Message----- From: chat-admin at freenetproject.org [mailto:chat-ad...@freenetproject.org] On Behalf Of David McNab Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 11:52 PM To: Josh Subject: Re: [freenet-chat] source of spam J> Hey guys, I've got an off topic question for ya.

Hey, what would the internet be if we weren't always getting inundated with "grow your penis to 19inches" and "This really worked for me, make $2.5m by this time next week" and "Find out who your neighbour's screwing" and "Help - nigerian govt officials need to stash $3million" etc etc Email would get awfully quiet! _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
