Like underwear, I guess email addys should be changed every couple of years
For two years, I had no spam on Gmail. Now I'm getting about a dozen spams a day. Gmail does a great job of sorting it out and sticking it a spam folder but it galls me. Seems that last Christmas someone in my family gave my address to a spammer so they could send me an electronic card. Grrrrrrrrrrr......

:banghead:

1. That's odd. I was just remarking today that I seem to be getting more spam in my gmail account.
Gmail has always been really good about filtering the spam to the spam folder, but I received two in my inbox today that surprised me. One for some correspondence school and another for a get-rich-quick scheme. Those are the kinds of things usually dumped right into the spam box.

2. They are constantly finding ways around all the security.
Itll be a never ending game,I suppose.
