Actually, I do not receive a lot of spam at my personal email account. I have several throw away accounts that I use when I must give an email address to access a site. Accounts like: Ben Dover, Rick O'Shea and Paul Bearer. They get a lot of spam, which I mostly ignore. As for telemarketers, we received so many calls I installed a system to handle them. It automatically blocks: unknown, private, out of area and so on. Unless you are on our approved list, it will not let you through unless you dial 0, hang up and call back. At that time I can elect not to answer the call. Telemarketers are mostly on automatic systems and can't do that. We have had this system for more than a year now, and in that time not a single call has gotten past it. It stops phony surveys, political calls, phony cop funds all the junk the DNC list allows, and on and on. It holds 9,999 numbers, but I only reject persistent callers. How I love technology! ;)
