Jessi,
I have done my share of deleting spam also. It feels great to be able to go in and wipe it out.

I love your book concept---Arnold may be looking for a job soon :D . But you need a female in there to stir it up a bit--just don't request Anglelina Jolie, she's got too much going on now.

419 spammers
The best way I found to get rid of nigerian spam, is to answer each one with insults. If you are getting 419 scams sent to you, you are on a mailing list, of sorts. Insulting them by asking questions about thier intelligence, or by asking why they think you are so gullible, calling them idiots, etc, makes you a lousy choice for the email list.
Also, report all of them to the ISPs used.
Use Abuse@aol.c or [email]abuse@live.com[/email] or what ever ISP they use, put the body and header (click details) and the ISP will cancel the account used. Even the cafes used will have to get new ISP accounts.
I am down on the number of scams sent, and today I actually got none!
