I sure I have not been online as long as some here but I have not had a problem since the days of using my first suitcase size portable computer which was an old CPM Osborne. |

While it may be true that you don't have a problem with spam ("mostly")
just think of all the bandwidth the spammers clog up while sending you email (that you don't "see") and your email client bouncing it back. It slows down the whole internet for everybody. |

To quote you: "I can filter 99% of it out with the right software.." Meaning that junk mail gets to your software and then it is rejected. Whether or not your software bounces it back - some email clients do - the spam generates bandwith. Taking the precaution to not publish your email in the first place prevents the bandwith abuse and helps all of us. |

So if you put your address down as jerry at springer dot net, the spam bots are going to pick it up, and boounce it back? I seriously doubt it. -- Jim in NC |
