1000 messages. All of them spam.

So, I got this Earthlink account. I’ve had it ever since Darren, Bry and I lived in New Brunswick about 5 years ago. After I had moved back home and my parents got a cable modem, I held on to the Earthlink account, in case I ever went on the road with my laptop. But since then, I haven’t bothered to check that e-mail account, since I’ve always had people send mail to my iName, and later to my m-dnovember.com e-mail addresses.

So tonight, on a lark, I decide to log into Earthlink’s WebMail facility and see how that account was doing. The mailbox had reached it’s 10mb limit. The mailbox contained something in the neighborhood of 1000 new messages. All of the messages – all 10mb worth – were unsolicited spam.

Thanks, Earthlink.
