I was just cleaning the most recent spam out of my e-mail box, and the thought came to mind how lucky we are that "real world" spam doesn't exist. Could you imagine what it would be like to get dozens or hundreds of pieces of unsolicited mail a day? You'd strain your back just hauling the stuff out to the trash.

One thing I haven't heard in a bit is apocalyptic talk about how if something isn't done about the volume of spam the Internet will collapse. Should be just about time for another story about that claim I suppose.
