Spam

[David Ilvedson, RPT]

I get very little spam but spam happens.  Consider a filter program like
"Brighemail".  It filters what it considers to be spam onto its Web Site
before you get your mail.  You go every once and awhile to check the spam
for real messages and delete everything else.  What really annoys me are the
fax spams.  I think a computer is calling phone numbers at random (or
whatever) and when one picks up it sends the fax tones.  I keep getting
travel agent stuff, etc.  I'm using my fax cartridge to print their
junk...that ticks me off.  If I call the number to get off the list I think
they just say "alright, a live one"!
