Spam
I don't get any. Not one.

I don't do anything online that will lead the spammers back to my primary email address.

I never get spam.

Do you, and why?

1. I constantly get spam at work from
Gevalia coffee. But that's it. It's actually almost working - I almost clicked on it today until reason kicked in.

2. yep, and i know why
Because when I got my own domain, I was an idiot and made my address (firstname)@(domain). I had only given it out to a couple people when I started getting spam--lots of it even headed "Hi (firstname)!"

But then I made an account called register@(domain). That account is completely spam-free.

3. I have no idea. I only get spam on my free e-mail address
I don't get it on the one that you pay for. And it's usually offering me cheap Viagra. What do I need with this? They must know from my name that I'm a girl.:shrug:

5. Sign up for Yahoo mail.
I get everything from "Hot Yung Teenz 4 U" to something dealing with farm equipment. :shrug: Not to mention enlarging my nonexistent penis.

7. I'm about to start a new one...
Surgery for women who WANT to have a penis.

We'll call it an addadicktome.

Then you'll have reasons to enlarge it.

8. This is too funny.
This guy answers spam mail. He has even written a book. Go to this link. A very funny satire about Bush and fellow crooks.
