And instead, I get a lot from an account that Iīve never accesed since creation, a month ago. Being honest, they all start with dduca, and theyīre all listed in my PGP key, but I donīt believe they go harvest there. MM> Another reason for this suspicion of mine, is this: if I write something MM> about illegal software, I start to receive offerings related to "cheap MM> software"; if I write something about drugs, I get heaps of related MM> offerings FYI, Iīm subscribed to around 30 lists, some for ex-jobs I like to get current (Iīm working in a hotel since 2002 and the Argentine crisis) just in case. Pharmaceutical (I have a degree in chemistry), telecoms (worked there too), some personals including RPGs, Magic the gathering (yeah, I know), school, college and university ex-student groups, RC modeling, and some computer-related. I donīt browse for porn, since (a), Iīm married quite recently, and (b), letīs be honest, itīs easier and cheaper to rent. So... I donīt get a pattern. Oh, and itīs beginning to get heavier on nig-419. No messages about toys, nor models, nor drugs (except the viagra-enlargement), nor games. I think about the same as you, bt I canīt confirm that suspicion with facts... (-8 MM> if I write about sex, I get an avalanche of these... enlargement offerings. MM> Honestly, I do not need any of these three, *especially* not *some* of them. And thereīs no way to tell them that 95% of the girls like it as we like Coke, regular, please...
