Is it just me, or do I all the sudden have more spam?
- aximbigfan: Ever since they let people buy one of those OLPC things, and give one to a poverty ridden country, my spam rate has gone through the frigging roof
- aximbigfan: It's really just plain annoying because maybe people should focus on give those people food and water that is actually safe to drink. Not a computer
- aximbigfan: IMO, the people who the buy one, give one program is suppose to benefit are not responsible enough to all the sudden have a computer with an internet connection
- aximbigfan: I'm not trying to be racist or anything, but it's really starting to make life hard for me. And, it happened _right_ after they announced the program, so I don't think it is something else
- aximbigfan: It's also really nerve racking, because, I'm a mod for a yahoo group, and I have to approve messages sent by new users. If I accidentally delete one of the notices that says that I need to approve, than the users message gets suspended until the other mod approves it, which could take hours or more
- Ken S: I really doubt that that was the cause of your sudden rise in spam, more likely your email got picked up by a spammer or got on a list somewhere
- unitedxempire: WOW you should get spamed! I wish you do, you racist
- CodeBubba: I highly doubt, ABF, that your level of spam has ANYTHING to do with this. How in the heck do you correlate the two?
- aximbigfan: I haven't given me email out for a long long time, and the addresses are all from Africa
- aximbigfan: Also, OP fixed
