A harty amen to that! Get a hotmail account, and within a day you'll have 31 messages, and over a week you'll have 800 messages talking all about sex to drugs to whatever else the government doesn't take the time to regulate. It's rediculous trash. When I get my network card in my Linux box installed later today, I'm going to try spam assassin. It seems like a nice way of killing off those automated robots. The internet used to be a trusted network, until the wrong minds became pros.
