I get very close to no spam in my email and have posted significant
amounts here over the last year or so. I usually average less than one
per week unless I accidentally post something to Usenet using my true
email address. Then it picks up to 5-7 or so per week for a couple of
weeks. I really don't think the lowlife excrement waste of skin spam
mongers are pulling addresses from this mailing list.
I tend to retaliate to spam in a somewhat hostile manner and always
complain to their ISP's whenever possible. I have no mail filters set up
and see everything that comes in. Being the sysadmin of my own system
helps since I can send mail from root to their ISP's and it may add a
little more credibility to what I tell them.
