    Just me? When deleting spam emails...

    Do you look away from the screen? So you can feel like you never looked at their bullshit spam?

    I do it all the time. I look away so as not to "give the spammer the satisfaction of looking at his spam".

    Fuck I hate spammers

        I actually try and register each email as I let the hate of having to delete spam fill me more and more with each keystroke on the "Del" key.

        I'd never personally murder a spammer, let alone punch them or buy them a drink, if I met them in person. But if I had enough cash and resources I would pay for their death... If they had a wife and children, I might have to rethink my thoughts of hate; perhaps breaking both their hands so they'd have to be a no-handed telemarketer of some sorts. Of which I'd have to pay to have their tongue ripped out, providing the cash and resources were there.
        Your post count means nothing.

          no because I sort my mail by subject, then delete in large groups so I couldn't read them if I wanted to

            Speaking of spam. What do you use to check all your email accounts? I hate Outlook Express. Cpanel lets me autoconfig it for each new email which is why I use Express but what I would love is something that will let me flag spam, let me setup spam rules, etc etc. I would also like it to have a little notifier instead of having the whole damn thing open taking up space. Could some recommend something better? Thunderbird? Anything?

              As do I. But sometimes, to get the ball rolling you have to click on one. That's when I look away. I guess you're faster at hitting DEL than it takes for the message to load

                  I hear good things about Thunderbird, but you must "train" it.

                  Another option is to setup Spam Assassin on your mail server (if that's an option).

                      I read the other day, spam is as bad as 9 in 10 emails (maybe because of the holidays approaching) - double that of June this year. It's clogging the intarweb and is becoming a real problem.

                            I wonder if spam will eventually lead to the complete obsolescence of email..?

                              Hopefully it leads to a new protocol. So long as headers can be forged (among other things), spam is here to stay.

                              No law passed can ever get rid of it.

                              Case in point: penny stock spam -> who does the gov go after?

                                I have gotten about 70k in last 10 days or so. If I could drop email, I would.

                                  But.... you have to sift through them (at least glance at the subject line) to make sure you don't lose a legit email that could lead to some business deals right? Our plight is much more than the average home user (the ones who click on shit in spam mail to begin with).

                                      I do chuckle at some of the subject lines these days. At least they're trying to be amusing.

                                      Example:

                                      "Why is it so small sausage man?!"

                                      I still won't look at it.. but at least I can smile when I hit DEL.

                                        Maybe email will go the way of text messages... Have a small group of "carriers" be able to sell off bulk packages to "aggregators" who partition that off to their clients.

                                        It'd be a shitty way to go, but not. Kinda torn on all that, I guess. Currently, I think I'll take the spam than go with what I mentioned.

                                        I'm no rocket surgeon or anything, but if slashdot's taught me anything, it's getting rid of the zombie machines out there acting on the will of the spammer. We need more blast weapons capable of taking out those machines; shotguns, wide-array lasers, Glade and a Zippo, etc. Stop the infiltration of botnets and we're good to go.

                                        Or, the world just legislates a horrid death, against all conventions, to spammers. Catch a couple, burn them at the stake and see how many other pencil-neck pricks try and hide in Siberia to spam their fake rolexes. Think about it - a bunch of hackers holed up in a desolate waste-land without their hot pockets. Have a satellite connection ready to track and reign laser fire down on them when they try and connect to the web and......

                                              I get over 4,000 a day to my frostedfaces account alone. Spam arrest filters out all but the 5 or 6 legit messages I get each day. I think it's like 20 bucks a year but its worth every fucking penny.
