I get so many spam e-mails. I just keep erasing them and still get more!

I'm thinking of making a mailing list. This would be my spam list! Every time I get a spam e-mail their e-mail goes into the list. Then whenever I get a spam e-mail, I forward it to everyone in that list!

Do you think this will cut down on the idiots who send me spam?

When I was in college, the roommies and I used to get all kinds of snail-mail "spam" in the form of credit card offers, 10 CD's for a penny, magazines, etc... and they would all include a pre-paid postage return envelope. I used to open one of the offers, use that pre-paid envelope, and stuff all the other offers in it, and mail it back to them. Didn't solve anything, but it was funny to me.

For everyone you email, most likley you will receive a "MAILERDEMON" email, so really you're just hurting yourself. Most of these emails come from a system of bots and broken links etc.

I hate spam so much, it really should be illegal. People should not be able to think they can contact anyone and send them as much crap as they want.

I clean out my spam 2 days ago, I just checked it...I got 0 as of right now. woot.gif

As for snail mail, I still use the pre-paid envelopes and send all their crap back to them, I cut my name and address off of all of it first, but they get their crap back and I used their money doing it.

May have saved them money if they reuse it, which they will.

Shred it first, then send it, message is pretty clear at that point :).

      I largely detached from the NBA altogether the last few months. I had no idea the Pistons somehow stumbled into the playoffs. Seems like even the poverty franchises are a few tiers above us. Unreal.

      Will the Panthers Trade Out of the #8 Pick

      By musicman · Posted

      I think it's a possibility of them moving to #3 with the Giants for Carter because.. The Giants can't take Sanders at 3, it's too high (and too much pressure). Get a 3rd and 4th round and maybe a next year 2nd (not too steep) and they save face and get their man and we get ours. If the price is too much, Morgan won't do it.  It's the same for us. We wouldn't mind moving back a couple of spaces but teams won't give up too much. If our top 3 picks are gone at 8, people might not give us a ton to move, but we may get something and still get a good player at 12-15 or so.  I don't think teams will over pay to move up this year, so the next best thing is get what you can and still get a decent pick.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By frankw · Posted

      We can't right this ship in a single offseason anyway. Dan Morgan needs to focus on the basics. If he gets hung up on trying to get value out of this pick or that pick and trying to acquire extra assets like Scott Fitterer used to always thinking he was the smartest guy in the building then Dan is in all likelihood in for another rude awakening. And as usual the fanbase will be the ones picking up the pieces.
