You’ve got mail

Ireland sent us the hands that built America. We’re returning the favor by sending a record-breaking number of advertisements for penis enlargers, prescription pills and Nigerian lotteries.

    What do you expect. The vast majority of internet traffic is still being generated in the US, so, naturally, a lot of spam is also going to be coming from here. The US has also sent a lot back to Ireland thru travel dollars and the purchase of Irish goods. I have to think it’s a two way street!

    Sure, America has sent a lot to Ireland. But times our changing, my friend. As referenced in a recent post, Ireland’s no longer our poor cousin getting by on tourism bucks and Waterford purchases.

    It’s my understanding that http://www.IrishMail.com does not give out its email addresses which is a huge bonus to dealing with this issue. I only wish some of the bigger companies understood this issue, but evidently not. Anytime I have signed up for another address I have almost immediately recieved spam.
