I get spam, like maybe 5 a day. I never open it but the titles are similar to “Teens with bigco..” Sexy neighbor is hot for you or Cougars seeking yada yada yada, They send them to me with two words connected as one so I can’t block. All of it goes to spam. Should I be worried? Should I just change my e-mail? Even if I change will this crap still be sent to me? What to do?

I use an email client which is entirely online. If I want something to be downloaded onto the hard drive I have to do that manually.

I don’t do it much because my little tablet doesn’t have much memory.

Around 2000-2001 I got a lot of sexusal and non-sexual spam. Now my spam is almost all right wing and left wing political appeals for money.

I have a long standing policy that politics gets my time, but not my money. I just got an email from my County GOP that I can’t be a Republican, and certainly not part of the County GOP unless I send their private club money. Even if my policy were to do money in politics, I’m not sure I would send it to the buffoons that run my county organization.

You have to be careful when you type an address into the address bar.

I was going to check my gmail and typed the first letter wrong. I didn't notice until I hit enter. It was too late. All kind of porn popped up on my computer. I had to cold reboot to get rid of the porn.

I took my computer in for a turn up. It wasn't running right. They told me they cleaned up a bad virus but they couldn't get the operationing system to start. They installed a new system and saved as many of my files as they could. I don't know if that is what caused the virus or not.

I told the guy that worked on it and he said you have to be very careful typing in addresses. All the domains for various gmails have been purchased. I imagine domains have been purchased for very common sites. My typing and spelling are very bad since having a stroke in 2010 resulting in many status partial seizures.

Be careful out there.

i got something like that the first year i was on line. It was disgusting, and it was very obvious from the photos that were in the email that the girls were under age. They looked like they were about six or so.

i looked up the US Atty General’s office, and forwarded the email to them with a complaint about it.

Never got another one like it ever again. i hope it was because of a crackdown.

As a Card Carrying, dues paying, party voting (except i could NOT vote for Gary Johnson this time) Libertarian since 1986, i was both politically and personally offended by that spam email.

By definition children CAN NOT be consenting adults, and morally, it was just sick and evil.
