If I get 4 or 5 spam out of a couple hundred messages per day I don't consider it a problem. It's not like they are hard to spot and take more than about 1 second each to delete. I waste at least 10x more on useless e-mails from coworkers.

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?
