1. get norton's spamblocker
it works for me. At least I don't have to see all the disgusting subject lines on the porn.
But you do have to go through the spam box cause every once in a while they delete someone you want to hear from.

4. Did you use an asterisk because of copywrite concerns?
Can't we just write out: Vinegra, Vanillium and Zolcroft?

8. Naah, this was a serious inquiry . . .
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 11:32 PM by MrModerate
I was wondering whether the OP was receiving online pharmacy ads (ahem) or Diktats from Big Pharma Insisting He Try Neonostrum TR (without hinting what it does, but giving a list of dire side effects longer than the Gettysburg Address, the most benign of which is, "see your doctor if your skin begins sloughing off in hand-sized pieces . . .").

But the real question is, have you ever tried a Vinegra-and-Vanillium speedball? Whooo-ee! That'll send your cerebrum to Alpha Centauri (of course, your teeth will feel soft, and you won't be able to make a fist for three days*).

9. The drug sellers will try anything. As for the speedball...
I'd better wait for the weekend.

5. Mozilla Thunderbird's "Junk Mail" controls catch just about everything...
for me...

Rare spam makes it into the inbox

You do have to review the Junk folder every so often...
