BOOO....! Never used BuyDig, but several years ago, when we were young and young people still used email, my husband had the foresight to set up a "junk" email account for us... We never give our personal email addresses out when shopping, making a donation, setting up login accounts, etc.. Even the kids' sports teams or other organizations get the "junk" address... We check it every now & then for something interesting, but for the most part, that's where our spam is. Which is good, because I am lax at weeding out email... there are currently over 5100 unread messages in my inbox, 7340 in the pdml folder, and over 11,456 in the junk pile... Is that bad?
