<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve screwed myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The SPAM levels in my incoming email have gotten completely out of hand. I\u2019m clocking sometimes as many as 35 items an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
This is insane and wasn\u2019t a problem until the FTC gave PayPal my email address!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
I got up this morning to 200 new junk emails sitting in my SPAM filters. I have a choice, I can ignore all the emails while they take up space and CPU cycles as each of them is checked for viruses, then put in the junk mail folder, OR<\/strong> I can tell my computer to delete anything that doesn\u2019t look like real business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve hesitated enabling draconian deletion protocols because there are some folks and \/ or emails that are useful even if they\u2019re sending unsolicited emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n However at this point it\u2019s become a serious annoyance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Today, I told the computer, if something looks like junk mail, just delete it. Don\u2019t put it in the trash, don\u2019t put it in the junk mail folder, just wipe it from the datastream completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n I know that I\u2019m going to be missing some emails that might be useful and it\u2019s possible that someone will complain that I didn\u2019t respond to their email but those are the breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Of course, there is the possibility that I stop getting emails altogether. Hmmm, maybe that wouldn\u2019t be so bad\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve screwed myself!
