So, I get a lot of short spam mails with attachments, delete them un-opened and unread, and the big downloads never happen. Of course, those attachments had to move over hte Internet and get stored in AOL's disk farm -- butnot on MY nickel. 73, Mike K. Thats still not much fun if you were to be getting 200 per hour like some guys are reporting and STILL have to manually delete them. Not to be tooting anybody's horn but I just got a 'newsletter' from Mailwasher saying that they can now accomodate AOL email with their latest edition. Hopefully this whole exercise will be an impetus for the backwards/cheap ISPs to get some state-of-the-art filtering in place as well as user-enabled filters. Although the savvy users may go elsewhere I suspect that there's a lot of 'sheeple' who will stick with their crappy ISP in spite of the annoyance simply because they don't know it can be better. I'm kinda of in a tossup trying to decide whether or not this is the responsibility of the ISP or the end user but in a massive case like this one i'd have to put the onus on the ISP to NOT pass this crap on to their users. Thats irresponsible and bad business and is basically what causes the whole worm to continue regenerating. -Bill |
