march 7, 2001. Good lord, I get a lot of junk mail. I know that I'm not the only one, but some days I've forgotten how much useless shit is pumped in my direction electronically. Then I open my Hotmail account and all becomes clear once more. Ok. Why am I on a million MALE porn lists??? I do not wish to receive letters from "Asian schoolgirls who have been taught every way to please a man." I don't want cleverly titled email like CUM GUZZLIN SLUTS WANT TO FUK U!!! I am one of the statistically few people who have never visited a porn site of my own volition (although when you type my first name + .net, you go automatically to a porn site. In case you're interested.) This gets harder to prove with every email that tells me where to find the Net's Youngest Hardcore Anal Sites. I don't like to praise Microsoft as a general rule, but I will say that the Inbox protector saves me a lot of time. Since most of the mail I receive these days is in regards to Off Shore Opportunities, Turn Key Businesses, Instant University Degrees, Seaweed Fat Wraps and Viagra, it's nice to be able to get right to Q's letters from America, which have been flowing in on a semi-regular basis. Of course I don't respond to these messages until well past rudeness, but it's nice to know that they don't have rub shoulders with shrill lowbrow sales pitches while I leisurely peruse their wisdom.
