I have an ISP account that I have NEVER, EVER given out on a website anywhere. However, my fucktard ISP managed to accidently release a mailshot with all emails visible.

Since then, I've received around 200 emails a day. About 1 a week is genuinely for me.

Thanks Blueyonder. You fucking assholes.

I recommend then using that Yahoo account when you have to sign up for stuff, and don't ever sign up with anything using the gmail :)

Can't be THAT bad if you didn't receive even one Viagra or Cialis spam mail.

This is a slow day for me on Yahoo Mail :( Some days I get literally hundreds.
I have noticed lately that my ISP e-mail at Comcast is been spammed a lot more than it used to.

Thank God I have a G-Mail account now. I have 4 accounts to give out , so if anyone wants a G-Mail account just PM me.

I just noticed that a lot of them were from yesterday, but they were still recieved in more or less a 24 hour period with the exception of the one at the bottom.

No penis at all? Can't you see you are the very target market they are after! With none whatsoever you MUST need enlargement!

The signoff on my actual email reads:
-----------------------------------
Spammers should be made to serve 5 years in federal hardcore prisons. Wherein they'll be able to spend quality time with people who have a ready supply of viagra, have an enlarged penis, and are looking to get into a new relationship.

Think of it as market research.
