My Rising Tide of Spam

My main Gmail account gets about 20 pieces of spam every hour. Fortunately, Gmail has an excellent spam filter, so it ends up in the junk file without me having to deal with it. They also automatically delete it every month. Still, I see the number growing over in that left column every time I go in to read my mail, and of course my OCD tendencies force me to clean it out every time. This morning I've decided to let it built up so that I can see how much spam I get in a month's time.

It will keep me on pins and needles for the rest of the month. Thanks. ;)

OCD, ouch, yes, if you clean out your Gmail spam that is OCD. I have 180 MB in my mail account and that's just 2% of the storage available.

I was going to empty the spam folder once, but a pretty glittery thing caught my eye.

I have 200 in there right now. The earliest one is Dec 12, so that's 32 days -- 6.25 per day. Not too bad, really. I get more in my own domain name email addresses.
