I recently visited friends in Germany and was introduced to a friend of theirs who is a computer consultant and self-styled "expert". During the conversation, I remarked that Google is a pretty good search engine, to which the "computer expert" replied, "Not so good. Too much spam.". Puzzled, I asked him what he meant by too much spam. He told me that if you use Google, it causes you to receive more spam. This is the first time that I have ever heard that, but I am far from being an "expert". So, have I learned something new about Google or, is this guy an "expert" in name only?
Also, on related note, I correspond regularly via e-mail with people in Germany & Switzerland and frequently use umlauts (the two dots above some of the vowels). Lately, I have noticed that almost every piece of spam that I receive has umlauts over every vowel in the subject heading. How is this happening?
