"Damn spam!"

This is what the bird's been saying for months. Is everyone's e-mail box as spam-attractant as ours? Yesterday we received at least 25 e-mails, one of which was legitimate. It's been going on for about a week, but it indeed seems to come about in waves. I suppose someone has got a new spambot out there somewhere. Earthlink has something called the Spaminator, but you have to manually send all this junk to them, one message at the time, for them to block it. Too much trouble. I've taken to not downloading e-mail on Eudora at all, but going to Earthlink's website where you can check your e-mail and deleting them right off the server, before they even reach me. Certainly I don't read them. Who give's a rat's ass about Viagra, hot teens, "free" cell phones, "free" vacations actually promoting overpriced vacation clubs and condos, jokes of the day, and all that other trash?
