When I check my email I get a daily dose of spam, most of which is the undesireable type. The interesting thing is that I haven't received any of the nasty spam since 8/30. I was begining to wonder if my mail server was down or something, but it seems the source of this crap was NO, or routed through there.
Anyone else notice this?

I had not thought much about it, but I, too, seem to have very little spam since the hurricane.

Yeah, same here. I even commented to my bride that the spam had dropped drastically, but I hadn't made the connection with the hurricane. If that be the case, at least one thing good came from it.

Cheney? who the hell is that? For a VP he seems to hide very good. For about

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner
Just as well as Cheney's parents?
Heh..
Nope, I don't get but one or two pieces of spam per day. Maybe your email provider turned on a filter.
I have two ISP providers. One is the college and one private. Big drop in viagra and "tool enlargement" [RCM content] emails on both.
Thanks for po>
According to DE :
*All* spam is undesirable in my book. :-) Some it just a bit more offensive than overwrite.One of the big spammers in this country was located in Slidel LA, which got hit almost as bad as New Orleans did.
His name is/was Ronnie Scelson. He is #5 on SpamHaus' list of the ten worst spammers.
Now, if only the hurricane had *focused* on that one individual. As I understand it, he had filed for bankruptcy a while back, owing (among other things) some ISP $50k.
I'm still getting spam -- but the flavor has changed a little bit.
Enjoy, DoN.
