Last month I signed up for a service that filters spam out of my email. For $1 a month its a great deal. Logging in a few minutes ago, I found 191 messages from the last three days alone. Of those, perhaps seven were legitimate. Spamming is completely out of control.

All this junk used to drop into my mail program. I would end up deleting legitimate mail by mistake (I probably still do but not nearly as much). Fortunately my mail program is a bit cleaner, but I still have to spend my time going through all the mail.
