Interesting that this is from the Times of India. India is where most of the drug-spam I get is coming from. And most of the annoying telemarketers are calling from India too.

I get a variety of spam, usually about 20 or 30 a day, but most of it these days is for drugs, vicodin and cialis.

I have a pretty good freeware spam filter, Spampal, which I set to throw this stuff into the discard folder, to be deleted when I close Outlook Express. I usually inspect it before throwing it out, because once in a while it intercepts a legitimate email. I'm very grateful for the feature in WinXP SP-2 that now blocks email graphics unless you choose to download them, so I don't have to look out gross-out pictures when I check them out.

Actually, I just checked this morning's mail, and the chief subject seems to be teeth whitening. Better than porn, I guess.

I've used Gmail for about six months now. I don't get spam.
