Y'all are good! More than 150 messages in one day. (About twelve of those went into the spam folder. Yay Hotmail.) I'm not yet getting much that you'd call organic spam (as opposed to newsletters and such), but I'm sure in a month I will be.
My instincts were correct: I was going to places that were all the same, whereas y'all have gotten me into an incredibly wide variety, from Daily Bible Verse to Daily Naked Man.
It's hilarious how enthusiastic everyone is! I think that we all have a mental list of Things You Don't Do Because They'll Get You Spam-Bombed, and since they're forbidden, we're all eager to do them. It's like unsafe sex.
Anyhow, thanks, and if I'm actually able to do what I'm contemplating, I'll be sure to share it (though it isn't fannish).

Date: 1/19/05 02:17 am (UTC)In my former life I worked full time as the billing software manager for a large network of family planning clinics. Oi, the unsafe things some nitwits would do with their computers. Luckily for me, none of it infected the programs I managed. However, the IT person's office was next to mine and the stories she would tell raised quite a few WTF?'s. The joke in our corner of building was "we've got condoms by the hundreds in the supply room, if only they had once to fit the computers."
