Hotmail sucks II

I recently sent this email to all my contacts who email me at hotmail: “My hotmail account is now being spammed beyond all toleration.

I get some 30 messages per DAY, offering me, inter alia, opportunities to:

a) consolidate my debts into one single payment; b) procure a financial miracle by working from home; c) increase the size of my penis by 3 inches with one simple pill; d) see Candi on her new webcam naked; e) become an ordained minister of the church for $29.95, and quite frankly it is now getting silly. I resolved that once I went one full week without getting one single message from anyone I actually knew, I would call it quits and start again with a new address.

So, this message is going to everyone in my address book. I'm going to let the hotmail account die. If you want to get in touch with me in the future, I'd appreciate it if you would please write to *******@***.***. If you've forgotten who I am and can't think of any reason why you'd conceivably want to get in touch with me, apologies for the unsolicited mail.

Cheers,

The Very Reverend Tucola” So, if you know me, don't write to me at hotmail anymore. You should have an alternative address. If you don't know me, you can contact me this way.
