Spam
Even with the new spam laws that have been introduced we aren't seeing any reduction in it. Why can't anything be done about this problem ? I am getting 140 spam per day now in my e mail. Is this excessive or is it a normal amount received by most people on the internet ?

You might want to consider changing email, well getting a new one.
And be careful where you enter your email in at.

Yeah, most online places that I have given an e-mail account name to, I use one separate e-mail account for and check it just enough to keep it active and clean it out. I don't use it for anything other than that...

Yeah I have 3 email addresses. I have a free hotmail account I use to sign up to stuff I don't know about, and I dont use it for anything else because it gets over 200 spam messages a day. All I do is delete them so I have enough storage. I have one for seperate things like emailing friends and things like that. The third one is also a free hotmail address that I use for my website. If you don't want to get as much spam then dont enter your email address in lots of places, and if you need to then get another one and dont post your email address on websites because it can get harvested by spammers.
