I found the perfect way so you don't get spam.

Best of all, you don't need any fancy software, it's all hardware contingent!

Follow these steps:
Go to the back of your computer
Pull out power cord

Voila! No more spam!

www.mailwasher.net - not too much but can help a bit. It works good for me.

And if you are really serious about that, you just need to abuse every single spam message you get. Then you have a chance to get into "hard abusers" list and spammers will avoid using your address, they don't like abusers :D
Though it won't stop completelly, indeed.

Some folks @ Internext were saying that "macho" is not a real person but a querrying bot that hops from board to board asking questions but never comes back to continue conversation, etc.. Also heard that this name has been banned from several boards.

Is there truth to this or did *this* macho just pick a bad name with a bad rap?

Enquiring minds want to know!! :rolleyes:

True... but since I posted this, I've seen "macho" answer in other threads that he didn't start.

I read an article recently on sig-marketing so I can see the merits, but hopefully that was just a vicious rumor going 'round the show floor...

That's all he ever does. Asks a question or makes a comment and never shows up again. Top notch sig spammer if anyone wants to hire him.
