Unamused dragon king is unamused

Some little spammer is very very busy out there. 82 messages to my inbox this afternoon, 172 to my spam filter, in three languages, one of which I don't speak (Russian), all of them of the 'Undelivered mail: return to sender', 'Mailer daemon: Unable to deliver' sort, and all of them using a version of my email address that hasn't been active for five years if not longer- the takeover before the takeover before last.

Not all of them are flogging rolex watches but an awful lot are.
And I wish they'd stop. Or that I could convince the faceless giant that swallowed my provider to simply declare that address dead. (Though spam reaches me that has nothing like my email address on it too.)

dunno what it is! ditto on the spam that gets past with addresses that are nothing like! grrr! *shakes fist*

Oh, so it's world-wide? I suppose that's reassuring in its way.

I am mostly amused by the spam that goes to the yaoicon one (not the hotmail or other accts I have - just that YCon one) which had many dating services for single Japanese women who wants to date me. :D
