Slapshot, you're evil.

Zug addict now.

Synn, I used to do that but then I got scared because by responding they would have my email address and that's sometimes all they need in order to do a lot of damage.

I really wish I wasn't as computer illiterate as I am.

No, I don't have Gmail Slappy (that's my nickname for you. No, you don't have a choice;)) because then I'd have to inform everyone that my email addy has changed.

Sigh.

It is getting amusing though. Some of the things these people come up with. I have to admit, they are creative.

It hasn't cut down on the amount of spam---but it HAS made the spam more fun to deal with.

NEVER reply - you just have just guaranteed that your email address will be on a verified list that will resold.

She knows. You think Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones that proselytize?

I have a grand total of 7 email addresses.

The one I reply from has been my email address for going on 15 years, and is a hotmail account expressly used for spam. Have to have an email to register to win something? That's the one I use. Need a contact email to sample toothpaste? I use that one. Need an email address to give Aunt Bertha so she can send you those glorious chain mails passing on prayer requests and jokes older than the internet? Yup, it's that one.

I check it about once every 6 months, and randomly reply to it.

Seriously though--what I don't get is why I keep getting offers to enhance my penis. The only penis I have is attached to my husband, and I doubt he'd like me to "enhance" it.

Hey now, Cats. I don't proselytize!

And I'm not Satan, really. Evil, in some ways, but really... I'm a Wiccan, and have to be careful about that.

But it's FUN to spam the spammers. Sometimes I write down those email addresses and use them when I have to enter contests and talk to Aunt Bertha and such. But who can really take seriously an email address like [email protected] anyway?

I honestly do not know what that means. LOL!

Synn, I get the enhance your penis ones too and the "hot married women looking for love" ones.

I am a hot married woman, why would I want another hot married woman? Especially since my penis is obviously not big enough. ;)

You don't get Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door to give you religious tracts? I am so jealous

We do, or used to until I asked to put on their Do Not Call list. I just don't know what that has to do with spam and email addresses.

It's so much easier on the shoes to just spam the spammers with "All hail Satan" or some such.

Synn, have you tried sending them clips from Charmed?

Ah, I see.

For the 419 scammers I sometimes send their drop box email address to the abuse email for that domain to get that email address shut down. That way I have just invalidated that batch of a million emails. Mwahahahahahah...
