Re: I rarely get spam on Gmail

said by LilYoda See Profile :

You know what's weird?

I got a gmail about a year and a half ago (had had an invite sitting in my yahoo mail for a while)
I've never used it. ever! I've never sent a single email with it, and forgot about it.

When I go back to it now, I see 12 spams in the inbox, and 296 in the spam folder. I'd find it surprising that I'm the only gmail user whose email was sold to spam outfits by google, so I have no idea how the *$@! this email got added to spam lists (when none of my other emails have).
The more spam Gmail users report the better Gmail gets. I got Gmail when it first came out (Beta) and they said to report spam so the system will reject it in the future. More intuitive than Yahoo. The only "spam" I get is from Hillary Clinton even though I've opted out numerous times.

I got Hillary's mail then John Edwards found me then Barack Obama did then Mitt Romney did then Ron Paul did (I reported his as spam...LOL) then Kucinich started. I do get all Ann Coulter's articles so I guess that balances out getting Paul and Kucinich's crap like, "Vote for ___ in the Internet poll at www.idiotforpresidents.com)".
