Once upon a time, a long time ago, I got a new computer, with a Microsoft OS,
and the first thing I did, was sign up for H--Mail from you know who. In fact,
doing that, was all I did with that computer. AND, then I never used the
H__Mail account... nope, I never used it.

Then, in a matter of days, I checked that same mail account on the same computer
(to see if I remembered the login and password). Guess what I found. I found
that I had a whole lot of email. Interesting that I got mail, and strange too,
because how would anyone know the email address if I never had emailed anyone
with that account, nver told anyone about the account, etc. So, only I would
know it existed. Guess what, 100% of the email was porn spam. Yep, so how the
heck did the porn spammers get that address, if not from the folks that admin
H--Mail (maybe they bought it from the company, or how)? I never before or
since, NOT EVER went to porn sites (as I consider such activty a massive waste
of time, totally useless to do). So - there is no other way for that email
account to have been known by the spammers except from someone who owned
h__mail, or, was on the inside at H__Mail (of course, you know who owned H__mail
- so of course they would not sell email addresses to porn spammers for money -
so how, why, etc... hmmm, unless maybe they were hacked and the spammers owned
all the H__mail servers)????

TRUST em - not ever again.
