Subject: RE: BS: Email Nonsense Gems
Well put John

I wasn't LOOKING for this stuff, I was at the time getting about 100+ spams a day, and a few gems just popped out of MailWasher...

You might notice from that thread that I haven't contributed for quite a while - it just ended up hurting my head too much (apart from wasting time!), and now I only get 3-4 spams a day - my ISP has FINALLY set up a real spam killer setup... The worst source is the Yahoo group ones sent to the group-owner! I wish that Yahoo would set up an option to just delete anything they identify as 'SPAM' instead of forwarding it on!

I now on forward most spam to ACMA (for Aussies only) - http://submit.spam.acma.gov.au/acma_submit.cgi
most of the stuff, and most especially all and any 'Lolitas' crap (but then one can't be sure whether it is 'official fishing' these days!).
