Re: TARGET: halting SPAM

[Dan Robinson / Indexing Services <drobinson@INFO.HWWILSON.COM>]

In previous discussions, I've advocated trying to get off of the
lists. This summer I just started deleting. It hasn't made any
difference in the amount of junk email. I've set my email program to
delete certain addresses automatically, and that cuts it down a bit.

I've changed my mind and now feel that deleting is a more efficient
use of my time.
