a vestige of thought...

I recently figured out how to use Mac's Mail program.  I like it quite a bit, now that I've gotten the outgoing SMTP server to work.  Still, every now and then I check my email online.  I checked it today and discovered that since Wednesday I had received over 200 spam messages (and Gmail blocked every single one of them, so I never knew)!  My parents' spam filter doesn't work that well.  I have to wonder how I all of a sudden started getting so much spam.  I used to get no more than two a day.  But then, as long as none of them actually makes its way to my computer, who cares?
