Spam!

Don't you just hate spam mails!! They flood your inbox like, well, those pesky Christmas Island baby crabs (if you watched the video clip in my previous post).

I have a few e-mail accounts and over time, practically every one of them gets spam-med! I had one that gets an average of 60-70 junk mails a day and can go up to 100 on some days. In the end I had to terminate that account. I noticed that the shorter, simpler e-mail addresses were easier targets.

It made me rather curious as to just how many junk mails I would collect if I did not delete them. So I decided to leave one of my Yahoo accounts alone and this is what I've collected so far. Yes, 20,981 junk mails in just a little over 15 months. That's about 1,398 junk mails every month! Below is the screenshot of that account.
