Sorry I missed your call this morning, I was doing the shopping. Also sorry to hear you are a bit fragile, I hope things have improved over the course of the day. A bit chilly just to sit in the garden, and the odd hail shower (at least up here) wouldn't have helped.
I hope you feel better soon, and we can go for that walk,
Happy Summertime,
-Rob xx

I think someone's having some trouble differentiating mail from usenet!
I doubt it, I've been using my real email addresses on usenet since
1991 and I don't get much more than about 20 or so spams per day! And that's not to this email address, that's to all the email addresses I've used in the last 6 or so years, as they're all still live.I think some of it is down to the groups you post in though, most of mine are quite niche groups.
We used to get 200+ per day because years ago when I started posting on another Ng (gardening) I posted for a short while using the correct address. Strangely and thankfully, over the last few months the number of spams has reduced to a couple a day only so presumably someone is doing something about it at last.
Most of the spam comes from a very small number of individuals apparently, and they have been getting locked up. Also there were a few ISPs who host spamming companies and they've been losing their interconnections with other ISPs which caused a big drop in spam.
It's still the case that the majority of non-mailing-list email I receive is spam but it's not as bad as it was.
I received 27,000 spam to my 7 year old account in 4 days.
Two things Rory.. Is that 27,000 recently? Is that your proper e-mail address you post under?
