i might throw up if i read anymore about her income and her standard of living!

if the piece shares some insights into how to thwart spammers, then i'm all ears.

i got roped into opening spam tonight. the header said, Do you think your PC might have a virus? ordinarily i'd delete that in a sec. but since that dude sent me some infected mail yesterday, i immediately became curious to know if somehow my address book had become compromised and i was now inadvertently sending out W32.Friendgreet.worm greeting cards.

so i opened the darn thing

and it was somebody trying to sell me antivirus software! UGH! they got me! <g3> amazingly, within less than sixty seconds after opening, i received four more spams.

anyway, to see that wsj.com article, you'd have to send it to me, as i'm not a subscriber.

:)
