[extropy-chat] Spam

[Extropian Agroforestry Ventures Inc.]

I have found hotmail to be a spam magnet and the less popular netscape to be much
cleaner.  Our ISP must be helping a bit... I just scrolled up  looked and in the
last couple of days I have hardly any spam, just a couple of  scammers.   I have
never had to resort to filters. 40-90 emails a day is plenty for me.  The single
biggest thing I do with the hotmail account is looking for any messages among all
the junk.
