Spam Spam Spam Spam

I swear, I am getting ready to block all yahoo and hotmail e-mail that comes to my e-mail account. Almost all the spam I've been getting lately is coming from one of those two domains. I've gotten spam from murray1425321211@hotmail.com, murray1426992757@hotmail.com, and murray1428607247@hotmail.com. Also from pitster261210743@hotmail.com, pitster262253146@hotmail.com, and pitster265170903@hotmail.com. Gee, think these are the same people signing up for a new account after they get blocked? I'm thinking so. In this day and age with hosting so cheap and better services than yahoo and hotmail, I don't know why people haven't upgraded. I'm so sick and tired off all the spam from those domains that, if you're a buddy of mine on one of those services, I'll give you one of my e-mail accounts to use for free. Just let me get rid of all this spam. Man, I wish all fucking spammers would just DIE!

The minute you change email and put it somewhere on the web, a sniffer will scan it and add it to some database. Then you're screwed all over again. Although I set my hotmail to only receive mail from those in my address book, and a few selected domains (Hotmail not included). But I never use it anyway, I am just hogging the name (kardyak) so nobody can "steal" it.

I'm waiting for the karma to kick in too. Now that i have hair, and my non-existant penis has grown 3 inches, I've started sending spam to myself.

Today i got a lovely cascade of internet porn--and apparently i sent it to myself. The evil bastards have a new trick!

Castration seems a fitting punishment doncha think?

I HATE spam! Well, not the canned meat, although that's not high on my list either, but I am so sick and tired of it. I don't even leave my domain email addy when I comment on people's sites anymore. I use a robot.txt file to keep robots out of my domain although I noticed that there are a few that ignore that and come on in any way. I'm tired of having my privacy invaded! Dammit! It should be Liberty and Spam-free email for ALL!

Okay, rant done. =)

Just because you're a 17/f horny cheerleader doesn't mean I want to see your damn nudes. If I want to look at an athletic body I'll just look at my own when I get out of the shower.

Invest in a good anti-spam program like McAfee's SpamKiller.

unfortunately, even if you report it to hotmail or yahoo - they will tell you that it didn't come from them. :) I just hope for the best. I hate spam, but then on most message boards and such I use a yahoo rather than my real email address.
