Ohh haha that sucks, i'd expect a comfy blanket!!

are you inviting more spam ?

You should write back and ask for your blanket!

Well yeah... It's commonly known that Fairies make the best blankets and stuff... they use real unicorn skin and stuff.

Wow I didn't realize that fairies could type, let alone send a blanket through email.

[das ist gut]

I think you should go for it, just for the cushion. Usually you only get offers for the blanket. You got the best deal I've heard all week. ::)

[هذا هو الحكم]

At least your spam is relevant. I keep winning the "postcode lottery," a term I only encounter in the pages of the far-off Guardian newspaper.

I get about 300-500 spam emails a day in my gmail account. i don't use it to sign up or anything - i have a seperate account for that. any suggestions?

HA! HA! HA! HA! (I would think twice before encouraging them for sure, but for us, hilarious!)

[this is good]

Leo,

I just listened to both you and Amber on net@nite describe your godawful spam problems. I can recommend a way to kill all spam incoming to your accounts that you use only for normal human email [i.e., not for Amazon autoreplies].

You can get a spamarrest.com email account for about $40/yr. Forward all the addresses for which you're having spam problems to say leoville@spamarrest.com which will only pass on emails from people who've passed the captcha challenge-response test.

We were getting low-thousands of spams/day before. Now we get zero.

And thanks 10^6 for the Leo Gallactic Network!
