shmengie Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I know it's bad omen, but I've enjoyed the least spam day this year with a record low of 18 spams recieved for Wednesday June 20, which is about half my daily average for the past 3 months. Perhaps I should kneel down and prey for a continued lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IME, it only means that your email address has been sold to a different spammer - a different assortment of spam will start soon! 'Pray to the Lord - and pass the gunpowder (blocklist)' is probably more appropriate for recipients of spam. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Ms B is absolutely right, depending where your address ended up this may be just like the silence before the storm. Expect a tornado, no, a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmengie Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yeah, I knew it wouldn't last, but a day w/only 18 was a nice treat from the typical barrage of spew. Thursday the 21st was average, w/35 spams recieved. Guess... I didn't prey loud enough. As best I can gather, there is no use in trying to identify a patter to spam, it's just there in heaps or it's just there.... hopefully only a trickle. Nonetheless, I still look for patterns. The past three weeks Wednesday has been the lowest spammed days of the week for me. But it was only a month ago wednesdays were the worst day of the week. Based on the past two weeks however Thursday has been the overwhelming spam day. But this particular Thursday was average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dra007 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 For me they are worst at night and on weekends, they figured it would be less likely I will report them during that spam run. So no I made it a point to wake up in the middle of the night and report them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jank1887 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 We may yet outbreed them.30529[/snapback] With all that cheap viagra and those 'enhancement' products? I don't think we stand a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dra007 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 They seem to linger at the bottom of the gene pool for too long. More drastic measures may be necessary. I propose euthanesia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Betsy Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Then again, stupidity is supposed to enhance one's chances of getting kicked out of the gene pool. 30550[/snapback] Perhaps in theory.... It doesn't seem to be work that way in the real world. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I propose euthanesia. 30551[/snapback] Let the punishment fit the crime, you are entirely too merciful. I would contemplate nothing less for them than the forced consumption of the nefarious goods and services that they continually shove in *our* faces, these being of mostly doubtful efficacy and still less certain safety. Pour l'encourager des autres, as someone once said (more or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
