Just A Little Ranting About SPAM

It has taken me nearly a week to complete deleting about a million spam e-mails after my absence from the computer due to those two glorious weeks spent in sunny Spain. 

No, I do not own a lap top and anyway, why would I want to waste precious time on the computer when I could be exploring the mountains, valleys and beaches of that beautiful country?  Well, duh!

I digress - SPAM.  Do those idiots really think I want to buy sex enhancing drugs, botox, meet someone in Nigeria, or sent them money?  Do people really believe if you send a complete stranger a couple hundred bucks they actually will send them a million?  Seriously?

But then I have read newspaper and magazine articles about people who have fallen for this type of ploy.  Who but a lonely, sit behind the screen person would reply to a series of e-mails sent from a supposedly long lost friend or relative?

Really, think about it.  And that makes me very sad and reminds me of how fortunate I am to be blessed with so many loving friends and family.

Now .... I think it is time for me to return to Yahoo to check my e-mail and delete yet another spam stalker and send telepathic good wishes out to each spam answerer each time I delete one of those nasty e-mails.
