Angry Spam Fyi

I'm sure that you have all had Spam!

Seemingly unrelated e-mail that you have recieved that you did not solicit or ask for!

Here is a solution that has worked for me. Simply forward all your spam to this e-mail address:
uce@ftc.gov .

Since I opened cadtr@comcast.net it seems as though the problem has multiplied x10. But my one of my virus scans and my Barracuda filter out this Crap!

Strangely enough the Federal Trade Commission has very limited patience for this sort of tripe on the internet!! And I for one am inclined to agree!!!

Spammers BEWARE!!! I have your number!!!

I have a Hotmail and GMail address, both of which I am not hesitant about giving out to anybody, and I get NO spam. None. Ever. Not a once. Never. Not a one.

I have also downloaded over 100 gigabytes of sound and video footage and only have a 4 year old copy of Norton, which I don't even run. I guess I do keep up with my Windows Updates, but that is automatic, so...


Now, my computer has totally crashed about 4 times on me in the past 1 year, all due to my RAID driver. (I think I've finally figured out how to navigate around it, thankfully...) But still, neither I nor Antivirus.com can detect any viruses on my machine, and I get NO spam.

I have a router, but I don't think that's supposed to protect you from virus's, is it? And I guess Google and Microsoft have their accounts pretty well Spam-proofed...
