I admire your spam filter, then :)
Just since this morning at 9:00 a.m. when I cleared it out last, I have 129 messages in my spam filter (I always go through them to be sure it's not catching anything that wasn't spam). Of those, I have 32 penis-enlarging messages (I had no idea so many people were concerned about my manhood), a dozen messages from something called MensHealth ID, 18 that are in Chinese or some such thing, 13 related to herbs, 22 about online casinos, and a bunch I really can't be bothered to go through and categorize.
I guess that's just one of the downsides of having several e-mail addresses, a couple of which I have had for longer than 13 years. |

Man, I get a bunch of them, too. I honestly don't think I can get any bigger than I am now, though. :/
The message this week seems to be "Become a massage therapist."

Nope you've worn it out, Jeb, and there is no miracle tablets or pumps that can bring it back :)) Guess you've gotta be careful now on cold days:) |

I can only assume that it means that you're already too much to handle :) |

Funny.....my wife says that, but I don't think she means it as a compliment.

I try to be an optimistic person and if there was the smallest chance it might actually happen of course I'm going to check it out. I guess I'm stupid, thanks. |
Regarding your PM, I never called you stupid nor did I attack you. I doubt that you are stupid, but I would say that you are a bit too trusting or even naive. You can't trust anything you see on the internet. I get emails like these all the time. I get chain letters from people I know and point them to the hoax sites and Snopes all the time. As Alan said there are too many signs of illegitimacy.
Optimism is fine in the real world, but a little skepticism will go a long way online. |

You got one too?
Mine even quoted me right down to the emoticon asking me if my comment was a joke......8>)
Anyway.....I'd refer to you by name, but you choose to remain anonymous, which would lead me to believe that you would be likely to be skeptical, or at least private.
That would mean that you were the recipient/victim of a random mailing.
I'm also assuming that since you don't have an e-mail addy on your profile, that by and large you're not careless with your personal info.

I know, right? I should retire!
As for the rich dead uncles from Africa, maybe we should start a thread keeping track of "some monies I want you to handle for me in God's glory"? I get 2-3 a day of those too.
