David Pogue of the New York Times is worth reading and following. This post may be of some interest to some of you. Personally I find that the junk (spam) mail filters in Gmail and those in my host sevices webmail offerings do a very good job. However, I present this here for those of you who may find your spam filter inadequate. Be sure to read the whole post. This only really applies in certain situations.
"When it comes to junk mail, the rule, for 15 years, has been: Never respond. Don’t even try to unsubscribe, even if they give you instructions for doing so. You’re just letting the spammer know that your e-mail address is “live,” and that you’re a dummy who actually opens those messages and reads them. You’ll wind up getting put on even more spam lists as a result.
Well, I think it’s time to revisit that advice."
