This is all pretty interesting to me and maybe someone can explain this.
I have been on this list since 97 and get very little spam at all. I got my
first ebay con letter yesterday and don't ever get bank phfising mail or
porno mail.
What don't I do , or do I do , or do I have on my computer that others
don't.
Could this be my net provider doing a good job of filtering or is it just
plain luck?
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I am still connected to a modem and I
don't do a lot of surfing on the web unless its Sports Car related or Ebay
related. And I am not using AOL and never have.
Just very curious and relieved that I am so spam free.
And no, please don't share any with me, but thanks anyway.
Mark
