    I guess this claim comes from the same place as "I fix structural problems daily", ie - vetran level bulltulip.
    So rare I am surprised when I get one. Maybe they think you are more clearly in need of a penile extension?

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      He only mentioned 2 email accounts.

      I have several email accounts and two of them get no spam mainly because I don't use them for online shopping or give them to websites.

        If you are not getting almost no emails then obviously there will be little or zero spam, it’s hardly a good example of effective spam filtering

          Most of my spam comes from the fact databases that have have had my other email addresses have been hacked into. The fact these two addresses are not spammed is because they haven't yet been on such databases....

            Spam doesn't bother me. Most of it gets caught and I never see it.

            I'm not so paranoid that I create a new email address for every site that asks for one, in order to track who is selling my data.

            What I find more annoying is the sheer number of people who think that my Wordpress sites use Admin as the administrator user name. The number of alerts I get from people trying to hack in is terrible. A concerted effort occurred over the weekend.

              Aren't there sites where one can create a "throwaway" time-limited web email address?

              I don't get that on my Wordpress blog site because, on the evidence of zero comments, nobody reads it!

              One rare person who did suggested Twitter is the best way to publicise blog articles, but I don't want to get into that and in any case I'm not bothered one way or another.

                Oddly, I get lots of spam to an account I have not used for years. Just check occasionally in case there's some old contact I forgot to update. Last few days, 2 free $100 gift cards from "Amazon", 3 explicit emails to meet sexy girls, , cheap viagra, cheap face masks, 2 more blackmail threats from someone who supposedly hacked my non-existent webcam and caught me having a * and a thing about my inheritance from a Ghanaian millionaires. Didn't think they did those any more.
