Keep opening porn spam mail and registering? Someone somewhere has to still be falling for those, or they would have stoped by now.
How can this method of advertisement still be generating enough money to make it worth it? Who exactly saw the email I received yesterday titled "RE: Old Aged Woman want to play" and decided it would be a good idea to open it?  My isp's email get 7 porn spam a day...

Not me... don't even get porn spam because my isp has a filter that deletes them before I reach them... very handy.
You should check out Mailwasher which allows you to filter and delete it yourself without downloading to you computer. |

Any ISP worth its name will provide filtering services -- hey, if almost all free services do so these days, how can a paying service not?
I used to have horrible spam trouble in the late '90s, but ever since decent spam filters have come out I've not seen more than the occasional single piece that slipped by the wall ... |
