    Hi everyone,

    Fed-up with all the spam mail that's flooding your inbox? Me too.Well,a friend of mine,Craig Peri, has found a funny & unorthodox way of dealing with them and just thought I should share this with all of you.It's so simple no one would've thought of it.Get ready....(insert dramatic drumroll here)here it is:

    SPAM THEM BACK.

    Yup,that's rite.That's it.His secret:He simply showed them a them a business that is far better than them having to make money by sending people emails.And 3 of them actually signed up for some of his networks,plus, a lot of the spamming has stopped.

    I just couldn't stop laughing when I first found out about this .I don't know about you but I don't see any harm in trying

    I agree. GMail does an excellent job of filtering spam. Once in awhile a spammy message will slip through, but all you have to is click on "Report Spam" and the message disappears as well as the chance that they will spam you once again.

    Be careful here, half the time the email address it is sent from is NOT the originating destination, but some innocent persons email account. I get bounce backs from my account saying that the message couldn't be delivered, and when looking at it, its spam.

    It happens sometime. I give the spam box a cursory review and if I find something that belongs in the Inbox I forward same. Nothing is 100% perfect, but GMail certainly beats Hotmail hands down.
