Oh, The Waste

7 December 2003

This may have been the biggest weekend for spam that I recall. While I haven’t been measuring carefully, it seems to me that from around 5p.m. on Friday to 7a.m. on Saturday, I often see 175 to 250 emails. Yesterday, I found roughly 390 emails in my spam folder.

Since then, it has only gotten worse. In less than an hour this morning, I got 57 emails which were spam. Fortunately, ELLA is capturing all of them; but, even in an era when the cost of bandwidth is falling, the enormous waste is mind-boggling.
