PETA keeps on emailing me, the only reason I got on thier list is because I signed up to mock them on the forums and get banned, yet they still mail me. Im gonna eat twice as much meat just for that.

the stupid thing is, people actually buy things from spammers. I really hate it.
if those few people didn't buy things off spammers, we wouldn't be getting any spam in the first place!
I kind of feel sorry for the stupid people who actually took the "super viagra" or "add three inches" pills. Who knows what that black market crap can do to you...

But yeah. That's the reason the spam problem isn't going away. It's very cheap for spammers to send out literally millions of emails each day. So many, that the tiny percentage of people who might actually buy something advertised end up accumulating, and as a the spamming companies profit. As long as they make money, we'll keep getting the spam. On the bright side, GMail's spam filter has proven to be amazingly effective.
 
I wonder, do females often get those emails?
what would gender have to do with anything. It's not like they know your gender from your e-mail. Even if your e-mail is 'Sexygirl13@hotmail.com' it's generally just automated crap.

and its easy aswell i did a test and of 10 of the made up hotmail addys i did 9 of them actually were real
its always name_DOB@hotmail.com which would explain why why my hotmail account is always attacked lol.

a few weeks back i had this indian sounding guy call me that kept saying he had a verry important buisness deal for me or some ****, and i always act like im someone else "he's in the army now he doesnt live here" (i am but i dont live on base) and this dumb *** was stupid enough to ask "which army would this be??"....i shouldve told him i was part of some terrorist group...

and cheap software sometimes. Like Adobe Acrobat for $50 and Windows XP for $50, lol.
And I forward every single one of them to piracy@microsoft.com.

Actually, i was at a MS confrence late last year, and they want those types of emails forwarded to them.

I remember emily complaining once about getting Pen!s Enlargement Emails



It was funny last night. At the dinner table the phone rings. Answer it.
I politly tell them "No, I am not interested"
I return to the dinner table.
Sister :- Wow! You were polite for once.
Me :- Yeah. They were Australian, not Indian. If they are domestic, I will treat them nicely. It they are foriegn, they can go to H3LL.



Currently, I got one of those Fund Raiser Chocolate Bar boxes on my desk at work. I am raising money for my local scout troop for the Jamboree in 2007. I am waiting for the next charity worker selling chocolates to come in (we get one of these guys every 3 weeks)
Normally I tell them that "I am diabetic", and they leave.
This time i will tell them "I will buy some of yours if you buy some of mine."

No. Last night was actually a charity cause from one of the local hospitals. I just explained that I have my own charity all ready set up, and that is my boy scout troop.
