Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam...

Had 199 email messages today when I got home from A&P. Here's the breakdown:

9 (in digest form) from gaming-related email lists I belong to
1 convention invitation to MisCon
1 nudge from SJ Games' managing editor Andrew Hackard about writing a new book
1 from another SJ Games about editing an adventure for the MIB program
177 pieces of crap that I had to wade through and delete

That's a typical breakdown for me these days; roughly 5% of my email is valid. The other 95% invites me to:
- invest money in an African country
- make my penis larger
- meet local girls
- buy cheap Viagra, Cialis, Xanax, or Hydrocodone
- consolidate my mortgage (even though my house is paid for)
- make a fortune on eBay
- enter all my personal information into a form because my bank account is on the verge of being closed
- view an attachment (that's got more viruses than a two dollar hooker)
- enlarge my breasts
- or (my personal favorite) "g n ojt fqb jqj ybls xhqifoldxzjzyv ..." (Whatever the heck that means).

I need a new email address.
