Wow.  That's a lot of junk mail...

I find it really annoying when I have to look through thirty or so messages to find the important ones.  Although spam can be ammusing on some trivial level.

Ila Marquez, Kareem Joiner (twice), Carmela Lester, Everett Salter, Maxwell Langford, Romona Dallas, Socorro W. McLean (my personal favorite so far), Kendall Sanchez, Ben Goodwin, Jennifer Osborne, Fidel Richardson (were his parents sympathizers for Cuban Communism?), Karlyn Ericka, Driver Freda (named after, I suppose, Minnie Driver), Jerold Sutherland, Joseph Barnes (twice), Cyrus Mcmanus (a Scottish lord hitting hard times, perhaps?), Kyle Lam, and of course, Ted.

This may or may not count as spam, but ever noticed how many popups you get for no reason?  I just got three writing this, no four, while my popup blocker is ON.  You'd think the dumb things would work.

are they popups? or messages from Windows Messenger? (ie, do they look like web pages, or do they look like "error" messages?) In the first case, well, you need a better popup blocker. Netzero's is pretty good, actually. if the latter, then you need a firewall.

You should use Opera as your main browser.  It can be set to block popups automatically and it doesn't crash all the time like IE.

INTERESTING... yes...very intersting

Maybe if I get a gun, or a large stick...

Oh well gnomes are another problem altogether.  Dynamite works well.

Here's a hint: Use Mozilla as your browser. It also blocks pop-ups (I havn't seen one yet, unless I choose to). Furthermore, it's just like Internet Explorer, except not crap. It has a nice skin (And more to download) tabbed browsing, a cool mail client and other stuff.

As for the Gnomes, you could try the Aussie way, and hire Aussies with sticks to bash them.
