Don’t know why, but I’ve noticed in the past couple weeks I only get a couple spam a day, when I used to get 20+.

Cool!

Me too. I used to get 100-200 a day. In the last couple of weeks, it seems to have dropped by about 75%.

I’m certainly not complaining, but I’m curious why. Could be my ISP installed or improved filters that catch some before it gets to me, I suppose.

I’m on Adelphia, FWIW. Who’s your ISP, **Sam**?
