Day: October 30, 2003

“They” won. I’m not sure how long I’ve used my old email address, maybe eight years? Certainly I started using it long before spam was more than once a week occurrence. Currently, my load of junk email is now approaching approximately two hundred a day. The only way I have been able to cope at all is with two layers of filtering.

However, I am starting to lose stuff in my filters. I check, but it can be hard to see the rare good item in all the junk in the reject folder. Since my web host provides virtually unlimited email addresses, I have set up a new address for personal correspondence, several addresses for the various lists in which I participate, and a “throwaway” address for registering at websites.

I have tried to send my new personal address to those who know my old one. I can also be contacted at the link in the side bar to the left.
