People should learn about spam before complaining. Learn 
ways to reduce or eliminate it.

First, do you have an email address listed with your browser?
Check preferences, email. Put in a hotmail or fake or NO 
address. When you visit sites, they pick off your email from your 
browser.

Next, get a filter system. I use Amerion.net, which has cut my 
spam from 50 pieces a day to about 15 now. You can check and 
delete span at their site very fast. More info: 1-877-518-1005,

As some suggested, use a different email address for joining 
groups over your business or personal email address. Don't 
allow your prime email address to be listed on a page any where 
on the net, such as a post at yahoo. Spiders find it all for search 
engines, as do spiders for spammers seeking new email 
addresses.

This is all off topic, but is important if you are in a large group, 
with many posts, such as this group.
