Damn spam!

A year or so ago, my ISP went out of business and we had to change to another. Robert set up my account for me, and within sixty seconds of his creating the account, I had spam waiting in my inbox.

Now I get have a variety of addresses, and each one gets a varying amount of spam. I rarely ever get the ones advertising porn sites. Most of mine are for one of three things: stocks for sell, increasing the size of your penis, or for prescription meds.

Puh-leeze . . . okay, you've got some money saved and you want to invest in the stock market. How do you choose which stocks to buy? Do you talk to your friends who are already invested? Read the financial section of the newspaper? Educate yourself? Find a good stockbroker and go from there? Of course not -- you're going to invest your hard-earned money in stock recommended by a total stranger in a nuisance email that clutters your inbox. Yeah, sure.

Ditto on the meds. I have no problem with buying on the Internet, but from an unsolicited email? What kind of moron does that?

As for the penis thing, I just deleted one that promised to triple the size of mine. Any drug/treatment that could do that would be a miracle drug, indeed, considering that I don't have one.

I think all spammers should be hung by their thumbs -- naked -- in the middle of the Antarctic winter. At least until they change their ways. Rachel10:10 AM
