Spamalot

Spam. Some of us used to eat it. Didn’t have to eat it, didn’t have to even buy it. Now, there are two types of  Spam, both the scourge of all human-kind.

 

AOL touts superior spam guards. Yeah, right. Whatever you do, do not register with a job search engine.  If you insist on opening Pandora’s box, the gates will open as you are welcomed to spam hell.  Imagine one ginormous search engine’s screaming speakers yelling, “Sign-up today.  Don’t miss your chance at a dream career.  No education or experience required. Name your salary.  Once registered, a member for life!”

 

Spam hell search engines must include

  • Daily filling unsuspecting in-boxes with gazillions of irrelevant, random job applications
  • No manner in which to change a users mind. 
  • No ability to opt out.
  • No chance of being hired
  • Recovery group therapy for victims of email assault

Typically, users can delete email sender’s adresses from any distributor at any time. Most scrupulous companies comply without resistance.

 

However, the Internet Mother of all that is sacred: AOL, chosen to alienate customers once again. As an AOL member for over nine years, Yahoo offered free email account.   As a year-long user, this service has proven superior to AOL.  Yahoo blocks spam with the agility of David fighting Goliath.  Splam!  It’s blocked.
