| 293939 | 2004-11-19 08:54:00 | This may please some of you - from a news article .... " Bill Gates, the chairman and founder of Microsoft, receives millions of e-mail messages a day, said Steve Ballmer, the company's chief executive. "Bill literally receives 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it spam," Ballmer said Thursday. Spam or junk e-mails are unsolicited messages, generally advertising goods or services and usually sent to many e-mail accounts simultaneously. Ballmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates. In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox." Any of you part of this load ?? Cheers T |

| 293940 | 2004-11-19 08:58:00 | At a guess many of us would be responsible for part (albeit a very small part) of this load. A lot of people use addresses such as billgates@microsoft.com as a "fake" email address on web forms. Of course these sites where we don't want to give out our own email address on-sell the fake address to spam companies, who then proceed to spam that address. As such Bill is unfortunately for him receiving all our spam. Ah well, better him than me ;) Mike. |

| 293943 | 2004-11-19 11:19:00 | Hmm Spam is unsolicited commercial junk, and Bill gets 4 Megaspam per diem . Most unpleasant for him . If I buy a pre-built "Brand Name" computer (perish the thought), I get unsolicited commercial junk thrown in whether I want it or not . How many of those does Bill send out each day? Maybe what goes 'round . . . R2 |
