Hardly.  I can't remember the last time I unknowingly opened more than 5 spam 
messages in a single week.

Subject: [brlug-general] Has spam killed the Internet?

A philosophical question..

I recently sent someone I know an email about catching up and got busy 
afterwards and so didn't respond very promptly, and then got the following:

...
Automated form touch letters.  Nice, Dustin.

I'm spam listing your domain to this address.

You can contact me via another technology, if you actually want to interact.
...

It took me a few days to get what he meant, and now that I do I wonder if spam 
has really made Internet users this jaded? More broadly put, has spam really 
killed email?
