Talking Gotta be some kind of record.

Ok I was kinda bored today, so I decided to check that old junk email account I use for forms etc... I haven't looked at it in about 2 or so years so I was expecting to find a quite a bit of crap present.

According to Thunderbird, I had 16980 emails . Rather than d/l it I decided to delete them via their webmail... and this was the warning I got. Gotta be some kind of record for spam.

Re: Gotta be some kind of record.

hehe. The trouble with that account is the name. It very easy to spam becuase my forenames/surname is very common, plus it's on a popular isp. Hence every bloody spammer app on the planet generates that email address . So now I only use it for webforms that require user confirmation. My day-to-day address is very bizare, and I hardly give it out to anyone, hence it remains spam free.

No, "Lord of Darkness" is a fancy way of swearing... instead of misusing the word "God" for every single comment that I have to make I resort to a harmless phrase, that's all... nothing weird about it except if you are just ridiculously picking...

I know, but I was also implying that you might as well be a Lord of "Absence of light" as well since you stick to it (darkness) whenever you can, neh?

Feck no., just a dang spam bot got hold of the email addy . There's a similar no. of "increase your bust size" emails as well.
