I think some people just can't get enough money....

Or maybe it's a good idea to keep spam down?

Supposedly, we pay for the spam anyways... I read somewhere that the increased rates of all these ISPs is because of spam... It bogging down servers ect... Yet I have an AOL account, I have 5 screen names, 2 I used to register to various places, 2 I have setup with a profile, and one I dont use nor have a profile, there is no way anyone but me and AOL knows about that name... And I still get spammed... I guess u can see where im going with this...


Oh but no I wouldnt pay for email... Maybe my business account, but thats it... And its thru my website which I already pay for, I havnt read that link yet, im about too, but I dont think my business email would apply, probably talks about ISPs charging for email...

Hey Guys(& Gals)
I don't get Spammed. My wife did at a murderous rate. Eventually she just closed her accounts and uses mine now. Why don't I get Spammed?
1) Norton Anti Virus...whole package costs about $29 a year
2) AD Aware, available as a download. Every week I lose about 2500 Cashe files and 60 cookies a week
3)I clean my machine every week.
4} I usually only go to business or car nets, but if you are interested in more lurid markets, set up a seperate e mail account. I have Popup stopper but find that it'i not taht effective.

Bottom line is: If I clean my machine every week and find 2500 items that should be removed, when was the last time you cleaned yous and how much crap is in there?
