I love coming home to see that my spam filter decided to stop working some time in the middle of the day and after restarting it, I have accumulated over 8,000 messages. Who knows how long it's been off, but that means that between 8:00am and 7:00pm, I received upwards of 8,000 messages. After finally wading through them all, exactly 20 were legitimate and exactly 10 of those 20 were from a mailing list I'm on. I love the internet. Only had one message waiting at GMail - of course, it was legitimate and there weren't any spams there to lose it in. Like the message I was just alerted I lost from a friend a week ago. The mail was sent, but my overzealous spam filter ate it. Stupid spammers.
