Ok, for the last time: I don't want to order Viagra online. Not even if it's "discreetly delivered to my door." I don't want to reduce my debt. I don't want to consolodate any student loans, nor do I want to refinance the mortgage on my house. I don't want to buy flowers online. I don't want to sign up for some porno site, especially if it involves farm animals. I don't want to increase my breast size. I don't want to buy perscription drugs online, even if I can save up to 40%. And finally, I don't want to lose 50 pounds using safe and effective organic drugs.
I'm seriously thinking about changing email addresses. It almost seems worth it.

I know how you feel!!! I've considered doing just that lately. Probably 50% of my email is junk. :-(

I have three email addresses. One if for friends and family (only about 2 junk emails every few days), one is strictly for junk, and anytime I have to sign up for something that involves email, I give them this address. The third one if for any time I have to sign up for something where they're going to email me results; that way, I can still find the email, but if spam happens to come along with it I'm still not giving them my personal address. The last two are yahoo! addresses, which filter your spam into a "bulk" account that you can delete very easily.

Lauren's got it exactly right! That's perfect. I've only got two that I use, so maybe I should add that middle layer of protection. Good thinking!
Whatever you change it to, share with friends, family, and anoyone else you TRUST not to spam ya. Then, never post that address online. Anywhere. If you receive spam, NEVER reply to tell them to take you off a list. Never write back, just delete. That verifies your account.
That's my quick spam lesson for the day. I'm sure you know this Jeff, this is mainly for everyone else reading this.
