Anti-Software
Spam ... its the latest scurge of the computer age in the form of unwanted electronic junk mail. I'm getting tired of viagra ads and offers to increase the size of my ... well you know (the wife swears she's not sending them). Anyway ...  there's got to be a better way to block these $^#$@$!!!! than defining mail rules to try to recognize and delete messages with ever-changing e-mail addresses and spellings of words.
It makes me wonder if this is just another example of "evil" forces creating a need for their Anti-software. Make something appear dangerous (e.g. viruses) or irritating enough (e.g. pop-ups and spam) and you create a demand for your Anti-software. I wonder what's next? Maybe Anti-Anti software.

Tim, I feel your pain.  As I wrote back in October, I fondly recall a time when having four new messages in my inbox meant receiving four pieces of communiqué I actually wanted.  Those were the days.  By the way, I just spoke with your wife.  Apparently she is sending you the penile enlargement messages.  My condolences.
