It all comes down to class…..
Ten years ago, the internet was full of possibilities. Everyone experimented and at the same time had fun. I remember when AOL was the hot meeting place. Of course you still had perverts, but my information was semi-safe considering. It was the real world that frightened me. You couldn’t walk outside your house with fear of something being stolen or answer your phone because of telemarketers, tons of junk mail in your mailbox.
The internet was my safe haven. Now, I can’t even bare to read my email. Even with the strongest of spam filters I still get the occasional Viagra ad. Like most people I have mastered clearing my cookies and tying to eliminate my web trail, but still what bothers me are the scum of the internet that sell my information. The information that I provide them to use their service gets sold to others just for the sake of making a buck. I am one of those guys who refuse to run from spam. Of course I delete majority of my email if it looks suspicious, but I can brag about having the same mail account for over 10 years. 10 minute Mail
I remember seeing a service on the web and saying “who would ever need this service”. Now I recommend it. The service is called Ten-minute email. It provides you an email address that will work for 10 minutes that is just for those sites that refuse to give you business if you don’t enter your email address. You may think of this as dishonest, I don’t care. Who plays fair no-a-days? I even made up an email on my domain just for the sake of downloading some VOIP documents. They ran a domain scam and found my legit email address? Smart bastards. Try 10 minute email it will save you the headache of using the delete key.
The internet has lost its class so there is no reason to keep yours.
