I just got a 12,000 line email advert from J.E. Miller nurseries with
several graphics attached. To be fair, I did give them my email address
for order confirmation and updates.
Not all of us have fast connections, as I told them semi-politely...

On a slightly related topic.. I havn't been in this group long.. but
It is the first group I have ever posted to on this email addy...

Now I get upwards of 20 spams a day.. used to get maybe one a
week... sigh shoulda setup my email address differant like it is
now to begin with....

It's not the fault of this group. ANY place you publically post your
un-cyphered e-mail address will probably be mined.

I posted my name and email on my high school web site. Later I was
searching for one of my classmates in Google. His name appeared as a
line from someone else who had written on that site "Does anyone know
where John Doe is?" Went back in and changed my address to the one I
use here. I read somewhere recently (wish I could remember where)
that most of the harvesting is done on the Web.
