[Tfug] Re: ISP for Qwest DSL

[Michele Campbell]

I would like to suggest that you consider how your name is getting on 
the spam lists rather than changing your ISP. Email addresses are 
harvested from a variety of places, including public forums such as 
this one. They are also harvested from ebay and yahoo. So you can 
change ISP's but if your behavior does not change, you will continue to 
receive spam no matter which company provides your internet service. I 
work at AOL and we are currently running some tests on Spam filters-- 
but no filters are perfect. What you must consider is that if your ISP 
starts filtering, the ISP might inadvertently filter some of your 
non-Spam email. So, for your own sake, take a look at who is receiving 
your email address and where your email address is appearing and 
perhaps limit that exposure.
