I recently visited friends in Germany and was introduced to a friend of theirs who is a computer consultant and self-styled "expert". During the conversation, I remarked that Google is a pretty good search engine, to which the "computer expert" replied, "Not so good. Too much spam.". Puzzled, I asked him what he meant by too much spam. He told me that if you use Google, it causes you to receive more spam. This is the first time that I have ever heard that, but I am far from being an "expert". So, have I learned something new about Google or, is this guy an "expert" in name only?
It sounds like a load. I don't even know if a web site could get your e-mail address. I do know that the bulk of the spam I get is addressed to an e-mail address that I only use on Usenet.
I'm sure that most people who use Google a lot get a lot of spam. But only because they use the Internet more in general.
Disclaimer: I know this isn't about G-Books, although I'm using a Pismo, but I don't know where else to ask these questions.
It is normal for people to ask general software questions in whichever list applies to their computer.
