Spam-a-Zoa

I know I complain a lot about spam, and it’s probably not good for my mental health. But just how many dysfunctional people are there out in the world, who have nothing better to do than torment the rest of us with relentless requests to visit their websites, so that we can see pictures of Jessica Alba (arguably one of the worst actresses ever to show her face on a celluloid screen) pick lint out of her belly button.

Or relentless requests to purchase Viagra so that our penises can grow hard as brick and mortar—even if we don’t own a penis.

Today I had 669 spams in my box. It took three tries just to download them as my computer kept timing out (I was on my laptop). Then another three or four tries to actually delete them, as once they were downloaded, it again timed out trying to send them to spam purgatory.

This is not the way to celebrate Easter, or any other day for that matter. I need to regroup in the war against spam, before it devours my computers completely.
