I am with you!!! I am not in chat rooms, do not order over PC, only on gen
lists - and every day I have to delete many of these unwanted junk mailings.
Our state is setting up a list of callers who do not wish marketing callers.
I wish we could do the same - I know that some 'commercials' are needed to
help with costs of sites, but I don't want all these that I am getting -
unwanted info in my housse. How can it be stopped?
I usually use Tools, Block sender - at least I don't have to see the next
messages from the senders. And I empty my deleted bin often.
Thanks for letting me sound off on this hot muggy day.

Subject: [INSTJOSE] Question Re: SPAM, from Daundra
Dear list,
I am sending this to all the lists I am on............
Are you having the same problem I am having??? SPAM and JUNK. I seem to
be
getting everything from credit card offers to SEX sites. I don't
like it
and
this is a sure way to get a "bug"!!!!!!!!!! Most seem to
have a fairly
innocent looking sender...but if you look at the subject line you will get
a
clue....the sender is repeated, there are a series of numbers, or it
will
say
"reply to John". I have sent most on to AOL but I find it
irritating to
say
the least when my granddaughter stumbles into them.
I do not go into any chat rooms or over seas sites. The out side mailing
I
do is to the lists. The rest is personal. So, this has to be where
they
are
finding my add. Now if others are having the same trouble then we
have it
nailed down.
I am not trying to stir up trouble but this really spoils the reason why
we
are here. And if you get a big bunch of mail it can be time
consuming.
SO WHO EVER YOU ARE .....BETTER STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will find you and
pour water on your hard drive.
Thanks for letting me spout off.

PS..now you all know what lists I am on..think of all the times I have to
hit
the DEL key to kill my own note.
