Spam 'n Me
In 1998, I received 857 spams.
In 1999, I received 1,532 spams.
In 2000, I received 3,140 spams.
In 2001, I received 7,386 spams.
Already in 2002, I have received 2,954 spams. If February had been 31 days, I'd likely have gotten as many spams last month as I did in all of 1999.
I have never auto-filtered spam ... until now. It's gotten to be too much. I am getting about 50 spams per day, manually filtered to my spam box. Sigh. I get more spam every year than all previous years combined. This year I expect to get about 20,000 spams at the current rate of growth, which has been sustained over several years, and shows no signs of abating.
It is really disgusting.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
