I think our definitions are the same; only our experiences differ. Ive had about 300 spams since March 15 (lucky me, some might say), virtually all of them addressed to somename.tiscali.co.uk, ie tiscali let them bombard me even without the correct address! Ive had my freeserve address for a couple of years now, and it isnt hard to come by on the internet, yet I get no more than about one spam per week via my PAYG account with them, mainly "legitimate" service announcements from freeserve/wanadoo. Ive no idea where the spam comes from, as I dont bother to find out anymore since theres precious little I can do about it. The only thing that concerns me is which mailbox they arrive in. Ive previously written about the devious tricks I suspect tiscali of using to bump up their revenue at my expense. Forcing me to download all that rubbish is, I must assume, just another of their little ploys. Bah! However, once Ive divested myself entirely of this account, I should be virtually spam-free! (I'll miss the scams, though. Ive always wondered how people who are smart enough to have learned to read can be dumb enough to get caught up in them!)
