Let's try this reply again (darn server).
I read a report in the past week that predicts that email will become virtually useless by 2004 due to all the spam and spam blockers out there. Our company recently banned access to all external mail programs for fear of infecting the company intranet from an "uncontrolled" email source. I recently abandoned an email address that I had been using for over 5 years. In the past year, I switched to a cable modem, so I didn't use the old account for anything but a backup internet connection. I was getting an average of 20 junk emails a day on this inactive account. No matter how you slice it, that's a LOT of spam.
I don't know what irks me more. Junk email, junk mail, or junk phone calls.
