My unread spam and Wilma pressure reading

#1 Postby weunice » Wed Oct 19, 2005 3:56 pm

When I checked her pressure this morning I had the same number of unread spam items in my email as her pressure. 882. The same held true at 892.

Did some cleaning up and now I am at 869. I hope that is not a sign of things to come. :eek: If so, we can officially blame spammers for more than just being an irritant.

Seriously though I just thought it was a rather interesting coincidence that people here might appreciate. My co-workers just roll their eyes when I talk about storms. :)

Carry on with real storm information

I get about 800 spam emails daily on one of my accounts (my junk account, used for whenever somebody I do not trust asks for my email addy).

I have MailWasher Pro, and can clean up that many junk messages in about 5 minutes. A great product, btw, if you use it correctly.
