E mail

Post by adam atherton »

i just realized that i have not had any e mail of substance in the last several weeks. granted, there are a couple notable exceptions, but aside from that, i really see no need for 2-way e mail anymore.

it seems the only e mails i get are bill reminders, password reminders, and of course, the thoughtful people that e mail me constantly:



i didnt know everyone in cyberspace thinks i have a small weiner requiring medication.

i didnt know it was so important for me to have a fake rolex.

i didnt know it was possible for me to save up to 99% by getting meds from canada.

i didnt know that there were so many hot and horny housewives that want a discreet relationship with me.



e mail sucks. specifically, hotmail sucks.

I get all that crap plus the Nigerian scams and tons of mortgage refinancing offers. All these strangers are just so kind to me.

Isn't spamming a dead horse anymore?

Has anyone (except for the clinically stupid and gullible) EVER followed up and purchased something from a spam Email?

"Holy crap honey! Let's but our meds from this anonymous Email some guy sent me"



Yeah.

Drive through Garrett one time. The concept of the "internets" is just now reaching them.

I feel pretty lucky. I get some spam but nothing I can't deal with.

It's like junk mail with snail mail; there really isn't much you can do about it; sans adopting a new email addy every month.

Can't you set up some filters to limit your inbox? I know hotmail has a restriciton that doesn't allow any outside emails unless their address is in your address book. That could help.

Thats the thing, I switched to gmail because even though you restrict those on hotmail, a lot of them still get into your inbox.
