Sure, it’s the bane of my existence. A couple of weeks ago, I signed up for Know Spam dot net.
A few days later, while in Dallas, I got rather irritated with the way it was blocking not just some, but all the mail on one account. Pissed me right off. The service had a couple of glowing reviews from A List personalities, so I figured it was worth a second chance. Besides, it did reduce my irritation factor three-fold.
I don’t need a bigger you-know-what. No complaints. I don’t need knock-off quicker pecker picker uppers. I’m not looking for any triple X-ray sites. Although, I did model my subscription service after their models; however, I’m pretty sure I’m substantially cheaper; although, the titillation factor might not be as high.
But it’s been a little frustrating. It did catch an incoming order. Didn’t like that. It did prevent any correspondence from certain family members, too, didn’t like that. But over all? It’s getting better.
While I was in Dallas, I burned up over an hour of connection time, just trying to sort through and delete the piles of messages that accumulate. On a modem? At an expensive dial-up rate? Chapped my rosy red backside, that’s for sure.
But I gave it another spin.
So far, so good. It’s not great, but less and less crap is finding its way into my inbox. If you have problem, just answer the challenge and see what happens next. It’s started to stem the tide. There’s a chance that this and similar services might make a difference.
