01/30/2004: "SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!"

Man, if it isn't enough that I get tons of spam in my inbox, then some spammer has to go and spoof my email address so thousands of other fine folks are getting penis enlargement spam in their inboxes that appears as if it's coming from me. See, it comes in waves. When the said spam doesn't make it to it's intended target because of the address no longer existing, or someone's ISP's junk filter catches it and bounces it, I get the bounced email as undeliverable. In a three day period last week, I got about 1000 bounced emails. Yes folks, ONE THOUSAND! Imaging how many are making it to peoples inboxes if I'm getting that many bounces. Well, usually it stops and you get the feeling that they have used up the usefulness of my email address because everybody is blocking mail from my address, then it starts up again. Sometimes slow like today where I've only gotten a few so far. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better though.
So, to add to it all, now the spammers (an online casino in this case) are spamming my comments on this blog. I always immediately delete the offending spam, but what a pain in my ass! I would consider myself to be on the liberal side, but I want a death sentence for spammers. There I said it.
