Spam Diarrhea

Spam Diarrhea is receiving multiple mailing from the same advertiser with the same subject line in a single day. Alternately, this condition can also mean receiving e-mail with the same subject line from different advertisers.

OK, so I wasn’t planning on making another entry in this blog today, but I decided to go through my yahoo e-mail. Apparently, a number of spammers have had extremely bad cases of diarrhea since 3 April. My bulk mail folder is full of multiple e-mails from the same company with the same subject line or from different people/companies with the same subject line. If important messages didn’t get in accidentally placed in the bulk box, then I could just do a mass delete. Of course, then I wouldn’t have thought of the term Spam Diarrhea. At least, I think I thought of it, I don’t remember seeing it anyplace else. I haven’t checked this e-mail since Monday, April 2. On Tuesday, April 3, I worked the election polls, I spent all day waiting for voters to come in, Oh Well, at least I receive a check for waiting. However, by the time I came home I was too tired to check e-mail and Wednesday morning I had an appointment, so I couldn’t check my yahoo mail then.
