%$!@!$&!@%* Spammers

damn i hate fucking spammers, and their complete disregard for the hassles their rampant greed causes the rest of us...forcing us to abandon, or render completely useless mail accounts (i had to stop using my hotmail and yahoo accounts), when their built in filters can not be fine tuned easily...or waste hours in tuning filters to eliminate the deluge of shit, while still being able to receive wanted mail from new people and/or commercial senders...my isp, and i live in a rural area so these guys maybe have a couple hundred customers, was forced by them into installing a server filter, which forces me to log into it via web page every day or so, to fish the one or two emails i want from the hundreds i don't, or at least until i am confident that my whitelist is complete, which may take years...fuck, fuck, fuck...it really pisses me off that i am suffering this shit, especially since i am able to build useful rulesets to filter mail, in fact have a very nice set i run in outlook which has been 99 percent effective in sending unwanted crap to the trash bin, and sorts incoming mail from 20 odd accounts and then sneds it to the correct incoming folder...it wasn't really hard to do, just time consuming...i will never understand why so few people are willing to spend any time in learning to use their computers...i foolishly did software support for a while a few years back, and was appalled by the refusal to make any effort to learn....there is nothing wrong with ignorance, we all started out knowing nothing, but being unwilling to at least try and learn is just plain dumb...i may not be able to code, write software and such, but i put enough time and effort into trying to learn it to realize my brain doesn't want to work that particular way...and while i can't do it, i grasp the concepts well enough to appreciate those who can, and not be frustrated due to unrealistic expectations.

learning is good, it expands your horizons...there is no useless knowledge, and you are never too old to learn new tricks
