Thread: Gmail succumbs to the spammers

I'm so sick of spam, it makes me sick. Its the bane of the internet.

Capatcha's are even worse! Not only do they not work half the time. But half the time what you enter is not correct, because you cannot tell if its an uppercase letter / lowercase if a 5 is an S or a 0 and O etc...

They drive me nuts.

I get some viagra emails, but its all the Russian girls who want to marry me or are lonely tonight that are driving me nuts.

Once your email gets onto one of their lists that's the end of it.

What's worse is that my email address is used to send out notification emails to all my website members. So if any of them get a viral infection or something of the like and their address book is compromised, guess who gets on the list?

It seems like a never ending battle.

Stopping spam would be easy if they just used a damn spell checker on emails. Problem is all the illiterate people wouldn't be able to send emails anymore. Win / Win I say .
