Joop's Dog Log - Monday Apr 26

Spam email is a nuisance, don`t you agree? It makes me angry.
My human has anti-spam-filters installed, and an anti-spam-tool, and a firewall,
but we still receive a lot of garbage.
This morning brought us:
* five emails offering different kinds of viagra, hydrocodone, prozac and cialis
* three emails selling expensive software at a big discount
* two emails offering `blonde sluts` and `nude college brunettes`
* one email proposing to enlarge my human`s penis with at least 3 inches
* one email about improving his sperm production
* one email inviting us to participate in a -very well known- financial scam,
and others you don`t even want to hear about...
Now, the Dutch gouvernment has announced a `war against spam`. Spam email will soon
be illegal in The Netherlands. They want to stop spam at our borders.
The idea sounds a bit ridiculous and naieve, but sympathetic. We hate spam!
Who are the humans sending this stuff?

You don't think seriously that Humans send spam do you? Some form of weird alien creatures, or possibly cats. Either way there's little we can do except chase them around and around.

uvalde43 @ 2004-04-26 01:41 said: Yeah! Damn Spam! If your blockage works, hopefully other countries (including my own dollar-greedy one) might implement the War on Spam! Neat looking buildings behind you, btw. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- phil7 @ 2004-04-26 01:48 said: I agree with you Joop, it`s really annoying. I get at least 100 a day and my filters just can`t catch all of it. I had a recent one that even involved human-animal sex and we all know that`s a poor idea! Let`s love everyone alike and all species alike, but let`s keep some of the love to ourselves, eh, Joop? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mrsdeen @ 2004-04-26 01:52 said: The humans who send this stuff are the scum who prey on the individual`s ignorance in order to better themselves. Profit; money is the underlying greed here. I got an email from my credit card company (or so it appeared) wanting me to go to a certain link on the WWW, and input my card number, expiration date AND my PIN number. Well, Joop, it just DIDN`T sound right, so I called the company and they said they already knew about this credit abduction scam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- la_vie_en_rouge @ 2004-04-26 01:56 said: I hate spam. I, too, have filters installed, but the spam always gets through. It always amazes me, the weird things that people want to do or sell... Well, Joop... once again, you look happy and healthy. And thanks for the invitation; next time I`m in Belgium/Netherlands (this summer), I might just come and take you for a walk and bring some Seattle dog cookies from the Bow-Wow-Meow Animal Bakery... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- annmarie13 @ 2004-04-26 02:02 said: I don`t know, Joop, but I do know that you make me feel better and I am glad you are here. It has been a rough couple of days and you certainly have the ability to lift spirits. Thanks, Ann, Max`s human. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dullemen @ 2004-04-26 02:22 said: Goedemorgen Joop en Henk. Na een lange weg te zijn gegaan ben je dan bij de boerderij aangekomen. Snuffelend over het gras ga je op je doel af. Ik ben benieuwd wat voor foto het gaat opleveren. Een gezellige zonnigedag samen en tot morgen maar weer. DIEN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- smiling_da_vinci @ 2004-04-26 03:26 said: Hey Joop, this morning fourty out of sixty e-mails were spam. I am sick of it too. I wonder what this `war on spam` will do. I don`t think much can be done to prevent it. But we`ll see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- riccardonaman @ 2004-04-26 07:06 said: Good Morning Joop and Human. Hava a nice day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- waldgeister @ 2004-04-26 07:42 said: Moin sparkle eye..sorry, this Monday has started as busy as the last week was ending.....bosslady`s collegue is always telling that HIS Apple configuration is strongstrongstrong and no virus or spam could attack us.Well, somtimes it works, sometimes not...on Mondays it is tougher than on other days. It always takes time to kick them out to fight you through to the important mails. This morning it was full if workworkwork....by the way, Joop: will you be going to a "dance-into-the May-party" on Friday and have you already invited a bitch to accompany you? Love,pats and hugs from DKBP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- petey_cookie @ 2004-04-26 08:06 said: Hello, my prince charming! I`m back and I have a picture for you there!!! :))) Kissy-kissy from me and hugs from Petey :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mr_walker @ 2004-04-26 09:25 said: they`re trying to do the same thing here, but the definition of "spam" is proving tricky. i suppose if enough countries make it illegal then the flow might slow, but it`ll never stop. it annoys me too. especially the malicious stuff. and especially when i miss a message from a friend in among it all. Put them in the stocks for public ridicule and rotten vegetable pelting, i say >: ( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dsods @ 2004-04-26 09:43 said: ...back to suv...sorry delete if you wish no arguments from me I am embarressed about this USA teenage country`s need to buy tanks for going to soccer / grocery stores ...guzzling all the way ..absolutely absurd !!!!!!.....it is some kind of survival mentality.....annd totally unneccessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- schulze @ 2004-04-26 10:21 said: You only received these few e-mails? You should see how many my humans get everyday... And they also have an e-mail spam and they are blocked before entering in our machine. But it doesn`t help too much because they always have to go through them to decide what is and what isn`t good... Oliver & Co. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1baka @ 2004-04-26 10:27 said: spam & eggs please !! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- giori @ 2004-04-26 11:17 said: Because my e-mail address is so widely available to mmy readers, I get hundreds of pieces of spam every day. The spam filters catch but a fraction of it! I wish there were a way to stop the torrent. In the meantime, Joop, your presence is always welcome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- colmeeeia @ 2004-04-26 11:55 said: Hi, Joop... I really don´t know , sometimes somes humans are so stupid... Have a nice week!!! :) :) :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ann279 @ 2004-04-26 12:01 said: Hi, Joop...spam is indeed difficult to deal with. Hope your country figures out what to do with it...I`m sure our current administration wouldn`t touch the issue, too many large coporations that have contributed to his re-election campaign send spam. Do you see, my friend Joop, how cynical I am getting. I truly was never this cynical before gwb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tammy11 @ 2004-04-26 13:49 said: Muito lindo!!!Adorei!!Boa semana!!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wynd @ 2004-04-26 16:55 said: My human gets the same spam, and she`s a female! Sometimes I smell spam at the foot of my driveway, and I must cover such unwanted messages with my own spam blocker. It`s a daily job. -Sarah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- annmarie13 @ 2004-04-26 23:26 said: Thanks for your kind words. The funeral is over and your sweet thoughts helped. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It could be worse. People might send you corned beef. http://www.spam.com/

Don't post your actual email in any newsgroup; don't forget to uncheck any box on any site that says the party you're doing business with can send you stuff unless they won't share your email address; ask your ISP to filter your mail for known spam. But, most important, don't post your email on any newsgroup or other web facility that can be mined by web robots looking for email addresses, and don't EVER reply to any spam asking to be taken off their list -- it tells them they have a live one.

And than the emails you become from webmasters to tell you, you send a virus, even from people you never heart of before! my top was 116 one day Virgina :-(
