I never buy from a telemarketer or a spammer.  And any bulk or commercial 
email that I didn't deliberately opt-in for is spam.  Opt-out is a pile ...

I really like have my own virtual server for my domain.  I can have an 
almost unlimited number of email addresses and can create and delete them 
as needed.  The email address that this message is coming from I use *only* 
for the midrange.com mailing lists.  A few weeks ago it was mr2087.  That 
one lasted a little over a year.

So I get almost no spam at these addresses.

My work email address is another story.  :(
