Title: Let\'s have a contest.
Post by: Titan on September 25, 2001, 01:55:04 PM: I noticed for a while that there is a lack of contests. I noticed that someone had a contest to see how many e-mails he gets. I want to see how much Bulk Mail I get in my junkmail folder on my Hotmail account. So starting today, I will have a contest for people to guess how much crap I get in my Bulk mail folder. The contest will end next Wednesday at 11:00 PM when I reveal the answer. Let\'s see who is the closest.

Post by: videoholic on September 25, 2001, 01:59:21 PM: No clue how much crap you sign up for, but on a blind guess I will say about 18 per day.

144 posts in 8 days

Do you count the stupid posts from relatives telling you about the latest bogus virus?

No. My friends though keep sending me crap about bogus viruses and I yell at them to stop sending that crap. Just mysterious crap in my bulkmail folder. If it\'s in there, I count it.

We were suppose to shoot our final shows of the season last week, but the stupid ass terrorist kind of ruined that. We have postponed it for two more weeks. So now I have pretty much nothing to do for 2 weeks since we were already ready for the shoot.

Hence, lots of posts.

Post by: Evi on September 25, 2001, 02:41:17 PM: My friend has 140 e-mails of porn every single day...he says he didn\'t have anything to do with them...:rolleyes:

I\'m sure he had nothing to do with them when they say "Thanks For Confirming" in the subject line. *sigh* Never mind...I pity him...

Post by: videoholic on September 25, 2001, 05:29:39 PM: Do you use your real email address in newsgroups? I think this is where they get them. I also started getting them and then when I changed my reply address on newsgroups I stopped getting them. Maybe a coincidence, I dunno. I also have message rules out the ying yang with my Outlook. Any time I get junk mail I make a rule to send any email from such person to the deleted folder. THen I won\'t get anything from that email address again.

Nobody cares about this thread either. I have to keep bringing it up to the top so someone would actually respond.
