How many people are using these things? We all get spam; tough shit, buddy.

Must be a reeaaally important email address.

[ report it as spam.... {heheheh}]

I've kept track. Spam runs about 5% of my total email, and 99% of that gets caught in Yahoo!'s bulk mail folder hell.

There are 23 messages there now that will delete automatically after one month... a simple moving average.
