It might be because your a heck of good person, and you did all the stuff right last year, and santa gave you a present. I can hardly say that Santa flew by my place with such a nice present. I hope I can behave myself a bit better this year, if there is a bit less spam in it for me ;) The 80% drop is something that I have noticed aswell, but there is still enough that pops thru. Looking at the graphs I don't feel there is a lot of improvement in '05. The percentage of spam is still the same although the amount of mail is still going up. I think you are one of the lucky ones. -- TC, ,Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
