Maybe if Skoorbie wasn't on pron sites he wouldnt get so much spam or be forced to put his wee wee in the computer!

I still use netscape mail with all of my isps.... 5 years, 700 megs, 5000 e mails or so.....

I ditched hotmail and now the only email that I get regular spam on is my ISP's. WHY?! Why couldn't it be my other disposable email addys?!

Well her account is new; she killed her old one because the spamload was insane. Also if she is signing up for something on the internet she now uses my account :| But really sometimes I see emails like (let's pretend my hotmail is skoorb@hotmail.com, which it ain't!)

skoorb@hotmail.com
skoorb1@hotmail.com
skoorb2@hotmail.com

etc. and these damn spam progs just guess and make up people's names and that accounts for a lot of the ones I get.

The only reason I have hotmail and yahoo accounts are for the times I have to give out an e-mail address in some online form. That's all they're for is junk mail.

If it was a perfect FREE web based email, then you would have no reason to purchase an upgraded hotmail account.

Spam should be illegal. If you want to solicit via email you should get have to pay for a licence and there should be a regulating body.

Jesus loves you.

Then maybe he can stop all the spam in my hotmail.

This is the reason that i only use hotmail for places that are likely to spam, and then rarely check it

I use hotmail as my primary account because I have changed services so many times.

AOL --> Earthlink --> Free University Account --> Cox --> Cox (under roommate's account)


I average about 20 spam e-mails a day.
