I’m not getting spam comments, thank God (or at least not that often). But I’ve noticed the spam count has gone WAY up on all of my e-mail accounts except the one at work (probably because the university has a spam filter at the internet gateway that intercepts most of it before it actually lands in my junk mail folder or my inbox). Used to be, I could count on something like 20 “bulk” or “junk” e-mails on my Yahoo! account first thing in the morning. Nowadays, it’s more like 60. Sunday afternoon, when I finally got logged in for the first time since Saturday night, I had more than 150. Used to be, I’d actually look at the bulk e-mails before deleting, on the off chance that something I actually wanted or needed to see was in there by mistake. Now, I just hit “empty.”
(Oh, and note to the folks at Yahoo! Would you please, for the love of God, get rid of that stupid confirmation script? Yes, I know that emptying the bulk mail folder will permanently delete all the crap therein. That’s why I pushed the freakin’ button in the first place.)
