Okay. I’m fed up with SPAM. No, not the salty processed meat-like stuff. I’m talking about the email variety. This is getting so old. When are spammers going to figure it out?

Today I received over 30 junk email messages that were not even addressed to me. And that was on only one of email addresses. I’m very careful where I put my email address online, and if the form is suspicious, I use either a bogus email or a Yahoo! account I never check. My Gmail account sometimes gets used since it has great spam-filtering.

But, why spammers? Why can’t you keep your V1ag-ra ads to yourself? I don’t need or want Cial1$. And, I don’t want to know where I can buy a Rolex for $100.

Here’s a tip for everyone out there. Stop forwarding cute messages to 20 of your friends. Stop including me in that massive “To:” field. Because they will forward your cute message to 20 of their friends. Those 400 people will forward it on to 20 of their friends. Now 8,000 people have my email address who I did not want to give it to. And it is likely that one of those people is a spammer or has a wide-open computer ripe for spyware picking or data gleaning.

If you want to send me a cute message, send it to me. Not to me and all your friends. Or, better yet, learn how to use the “Bcc:” field. It’s better than “To:” when sending a mass mail.

But, I’d rather have a message personal in nature that benefits me. Or, if you are a spammer, send me a can of Spam™. Not that I could eat it. My doctor would have a heart attack just thinking about all that salt.

Keep my email heart healthy and stop the spam!
