OK, how about slot machine winning secrets, or perhaps some debt reconsolidation??
Death to Hotmail!

Hi Bruce, my comments just being block. :):):) Because I just posted some comments contained words that not allowed. Very good spam filter.:):):)
Here are my comments again. (Without some words :) )
Spams can have any kind of products.
Why can't email service providers have some common spam list, and block all the spams before it reach the user? All those email service providers have all the resources, $$$ and technologies, so they should do a better job.
I know some email service providers already have their own spam filter, but that's not enough. They should be able to trace the spam senders.

I agree with Hawk. And, although I probably need it, I'm tired of male-enhancement spam. Since, I've switched from hotmail to G-mail little over a year ago, I have not had one (1) spam. YeeHaaaa!

Ferdy:
I feel your pain. In the interest of cross-species cooperation, I will write and publish an open letter to the spammers tonight on the Random Yak. Hopefully this will help dull your agony until we figure out how to establish a "return of spam" virus that automatically short-circuits the CPUs of machines used to send spam. I'd work on that part, but yaks are notoriously bad programmers.

I must be on higher-class lists. I don't get offers for fakes, oh no. I get offers for *replicas*. A replica is, of course, far superior to a mere fake. I feel SO special.

If you don't want a Rolex, maybe you want a Rolax, a Rollex, or a Rulax!
My husband really, really hates it when they misspell the spam words. I keep telling him it's deliberate, but he still thinks it means the spammers are stupid.

How about splitting the loot all those Nigerians keep offering.
