on their webserver.
I have received more spam in the past week than I have legitimate email in the past 10 years.
Must be nice to be able to look back on porn-spam and feel old. 'Hot XXX - Newcomer Jenna!'
Bite me. Seriously, I enjoy it.
Apparantly the computer spent months compiling and cross referencing only to spit out this cryptic message: Host not found
If its already slashdotted, he's also probably saving all of his server logs as well.
my yahoo account i use to collect spam gets 1700 a month, while my "real" email account i've recieved 1566 since august of 2003, only 10 of those being spam.
You call it excessive, I call it ambitious.
Don't misread like I did. I was like, what the hell was Einstein doing with email..
Saved it for what exactly? Maybe vintage 1997 pr0n e-mails are now worth something to antique pr0n collectors...
I remember a time when the size of my genitalia wasn't an issue.
I remember when I never had any Korean friends.
I remember a time when I went to the pharmacist for a drug I needed, not the pharmacist asking me which drugs I wanted to buy online.
I remember when consolidating a loan was a big decision instead of "just a click away!".
I remember a time where when I left high school, there was no chance in hell I'd ever have to hear from those nitwits again.
God, I miss those days.
obviously I disagree. If you're willing to fund people who piss off millions, just so your penis can be larger, you should spend some time in jail.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Is this:
90% of all eMail is useless the moment it arrives in your inbox.
The First Corollary of eMail age is this:
All remaining eMail is useless no more than one year after the moment it arrives in your inbox.
The Second Corollary of eMail age is this:
eMail accidently deleted will become instantly irrelevant or it will be resent without your request.
ahh the irony of your post combined with your sig (Ferion being amway for geeks and all).
How we know is more important than what we know.

You should respond, if you can do so in person.
Did anyone else find this article INCREDIBLY boring?? I just couldn't care how a balding man analyzes email..
i hate pansy republicans
I have every email that I've ever received since 1992, with some exceptions for work accounts, and if I'd just thrown them out on the "if it's more than a year old..." principle, I'd have missed one of the best email romances any geek has ever had.
Really? What's your email?
