EMAIL USAGE DOWN
(Thursday) "'Spam is ruining the greatest communication tool of the 21st century,' said Jason Catlett, president of Junkbusters Corp..." and a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project seems to confirm his observations. Link

I hate spam, too, but I'd have to say that things are getting better. I've been running everything through the filtering system on my yahoo mail page. I do have to go through and empty the bulk folder daily (I've been getting about 500 spams a day) but I don't have to deal with the mail directly. Then I run it through the spam filter in Eudora. By the time it gets to me it has become a trickle of what it was -- maybe 4 or 5 a day that get through. So, in spite of the frustration out there, things are improving slightly from where I'm sitting.
