E-mail Hell
February 16, 2003 - 10:06
I�m getting a tad disturbed about some trends with e-mail lately. I don�t know how this is happening but it�s starting to piss me off. What�s bothering me most, I guess, is that I�m getting porno and generally rude messages with the names of my Diaryland friends in the address. The domain names are different, but I�ve gotten messages from Blu and Ms-M that were clearly not from them. Outfits schlepping get rich quick schemes and one really rude letter telling me what an asshole I was. That leads me to wonder how many messages are floating around out there with my name on them. What do people think I�m saying to them? I have enough trouble making myself understood without having shit like that out there. The other thing is that I�m pretty sure a lot of the messages I do send aren�t getting to their destinations. I don�t e-mail that often, unless there�s no other way to communicate, but I rarely get responses any more. It�s like I�m stuck in a vacuum. I�m not a fan of e-mail at the best of times, especially at work. I get roughly 100 e-mails a day and most of them I have to do something about. So, erroneous messages from scam artists really get on my nerves. And...I�m getting more invasive porno posts in my guestbook. I�m really not happy about that. Your guestbook entries really brighten my day. When I see the "Someone signed your guestbook" notification, I get all excited. Only to be let down by some cheezy porno website. If you�re getting messages from arcasha@... that aren�t consistent? No, I�m not bi-polar. It�s not me, is all. Arc |
