How do you get 300 e-mails a day that is spam?  I seriously never get 
spam except for 4 a day with my bigfoot address and any adversitements 
are from businesses that I purchae goods from.  My other e-mail 
addresses get zip, none, nada.  I make sure that my e-mail address is 
never listed anywhere that will be posted somewhere and if I put it on a 
website, it's javascript encrypted so it can't be crawled.
