due to the increasing volume of spam, i have long contemplated changing my email address. i have some email addresses i use for mailing lists only to help cut down but i still throw my main address around too casually on various websites. i'm even now getting spam in chinese and japanese. i think i got one in russian once. this is too much. i hate to kill off my main address but i feel like i must. perhaps it can be dormant for awhile. maybe i can start using it again at the end of the year after a lot of messages bounce back and the address gets removed from spam lists. *sigh* this sucks. i can't bring myself to kill off the address but i'm going to have to soon.
