Garden Banter and email addresses
"Chris Bacon" wrote in message ... David W.E. Roberts wrote: I use a special email address ' for Usenet postings because bad people harvest email addresses from newsgroup postings and then sell them to spammers. In just over year, I bet I've had about 300 "spam" e-mails, most of which (IMO) have come from non-Usenet sources. There are only about a hundred people on usenet, anyway, so it's not a prime resource for e-mail address "harvesting". I think you are a little short on the number of people using the internet, if you added about 10 '0's to your estimate it would be a little closer. Alan |
