Is anyone else getting myriad emails from various supposedly "Microsoft
Product Update" and endless permutations thereof?

I'm wondering whether the faceless virus-peddling monkey morons of the world
are targeting my email, or whether everyone's getting it.

I've had about 50. It's very boring!

Why don't these total f-knuckles find something worthwhile to do. Oh sorry,
I forgot, they're the people's cruisaders, working on our behalf to keep the
big corporate monsters honest. Barf! Pass the bucket!

They're just short, fat, bald, 30-yr old virgins, who wouldn't know a good
bit of social-interaction / physical-exercise / philanthropic-activity /
decent-thought if it bit them on their soft little arses.

(Not that I'm cross, or anything ...)

What's wrong with 30 year old virgins?

Spammers should be sentenced to 30 days of solitary confinement with the same 30 second used car lot ad playing in a loop in their cell 24 hours a day.

That's inhumane torture! Lethal injection would be a kinder punishment.

I sort my incoming Emails by size. This batch are all between 144k and 156k bytes and nothing else is. So then I can select and delete. I had a couple of hundred over the weekend to clear this morning. Cheers John
