From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic): "Spam in e-mail started to become a problem when the Internet was opened up to the general public in the mid-1990s. It grew exponentially over the following years, and today comprises some 80 to 85% of all the email in the world, by conservative estimate." -- Bob Holtzman GPG key ID = 8D549279 If you think you're getting free lunch check the price of the beer.
