A company that produces filtering software came up with the top 10 most annoying "deleteables" of 2002. And, not surprisingly, smutty spam was king. Free passwords to sex sites topped the "least-wanted" list, followed by those vexing Viagra offers, home refinancing deals, and the "help me now, and I'll make you rich later" scam messages sent by that bogus African prince. Oh, and that stinking "amazing tiny remote control car" was on there, too. Ugh -- never has the "delete" button enjoyed such popularity.
