Curiously, I get almost no spam these days anywhere on the Internet. Years ago I used to get emails in Russian offering to set me up with car dealerships & real estate offices in Moscow -- and some in Arabic that I could not read. But the best of all was pure whimsy. It was in English, from China, and purported to have intercepted an email from the prophet Elijah to someone (I forget whom) in the Israeli cabinet, offering foreign policy advice.

These days most of my spam (a couple a day) is on my landline telephone. The do-not-call lists intercept it, but I still have to listen to my outgoing message until it gets cut off.
