If anyone is trying to e-mail me, I may be slow in responding. When I woke up, I retrieved my e-mails to find that I had 150 e-mails from 2AM-6:30AM. I got home 8 hours later, and received 211 e-mails. It’s just a flood of spam lately.

For some reason, my Thunderbird adaptive e-mail filter doesn’t work well at all. I tag an e-mail with the subject line “HEY LITTLE DICKER GROW THREE INCHES” as being spam, but for some reason, the next day the filter won’t remove the thirty more e-mails with the same subject line! I mean, how much Artificial Intelligence do you need to identify an exact duplicate e-mail as being spam?

All this spam is getting past Powweb’s hosting filters, too. I don’t know why; there doesn’t appear to be anything all that difficult to discern in this new wave of spam. It’s strange.

Anyway, sorting my e-mail is now going to entail a half-hour of work, so if you’ve sent an e-mail and not gotten a reply, that’s why. It’ll just take me longer.

Anyone else having this problem?
