Spam is Dead 485
Vainglorious Coward writes "Two years on from Bill Gates' promise to eradicate spam, an article in The Observer claims that spam has passed its peak and is now declining.

Why are you all so prejudiced against these great offers? I myself have bought many of these products *nudge nudge* and, although I haven't seen any results yet, I have great faith.

Let me guess, some sort of pun related to the fact that most of the spam comes from zombie pc-s and can't be stopped.

If you do that, the non-*nix crowd (yeah, yeah, deny it all you like) might assume it's a Unix command rather than a Latin word.

For me the peak was two weeks ago when I received 30 emails a day from the FBI and the CIA telling me I visit illegal websites.

Dude, it's just a junk email, let it go. It's not like it's a family heirloom, you don't have to pass your one junk email down to your children and your children's children.
