I get thousands of pieces of spam per week offering me everything from help with my manhood to promises of incredible wealth but this last one was over the line.

There is a spammer out there that has set the date on their email to well over a million A.D. and this took my email provider down. Luckily I use a very good contact management system that reacts quickly to customer issues and they were able to fix the problem in an extremely timely manner. (if your interested they are www.oprius.com )

Like most of you I have to sort through all the spam to figure out which one may be a new customer or a legit response from a question I have asked online. I would like to send a bill for that time to one of these spammers. Recently I heard they shutdown a single spammer that was responsible for over 40% of the spam online. Incredible.

I know this is not exactly a new subject but due to the date thing it became new for me. If you are in the United States please join with me in requesting that part of the change promised in the last election be an all out attack on spamming. Take a minute, contact your congress person and demand help. If the big three are going to get 34 billion the least they can do for us is cut down the fecal material we have to trudge through to get our work done.

Anyways, that is my two cents. Thank you all for letting me rant a little and blow off some steam. Feel free to do the same in the comments, believe me I will not hold it against you.

   There’s been a recent jump in my spam as well, is it seasonal?
