I Hate Spam

Its not the hundred or so junk mail I get everyday.

Its the ones that get through my personal bull filter.

As I was scanning down the list of junk mail in my spam folder before
deleting it all. I saw one that looked like it might be fishing
related.

Creaming Hot Worms.... Wow! I almost broke my finger hitting the
delete button.

Hi Bob,

I find that I get almost zero spam.
My Hotmail account just started getting a tiny bit.

Here's how I avoid it:

Pick a name that is in no way common and use a couple of underscore symbols
like say: ).
The Spammers use software that combines letters and numbers so stay away
from cute and common names.

Use 2 emails.
One for online stuff like a Hotmail, Yahoo, or etc...
Your provider email account should NEVER be given online, except to trusted
friends, and always name this address' unusally too.
When emailing more than one person ALWAYS use the --Bcc:-- function. This
makes each receipient "invisible" to one another thus lessening the chance
to get on a SPAM list. Encourage others to do the same.

Oh yeah--and NEVER, EVER respond to SPAM because this will validate that
your address is active, from the spammer's viewpoint, and then you will get
flooded!

Hope this helps

Please smudge your email address correctly, then. Right now all your spam is
going to a valid domain name. I'm sure you would not want someone using
_your_ true email address as their smudged address.

oops, I didn't catch that.
I think it is not an active domain but I changed it just in case.

Smuged it with underscores.
