Do You Read Your Spam Emails?
Trust me. When I heard a friend of mine said he reads his spam (junk) emails, it was only half the shock I got from him. When he told he reads them, I just kept thinking which ‘cuckoo’ user reads their junk email. For me, once it’s in there I’m done with it. Normally, I won’t bother going into the junk folder unless necessary.
But here’s the killer when I was discussing this with my friend. He said junk emails is one of the wonders of technology. Gosh! When he told me that, I only had a blank expression on my face while in my mind repeated; WTF! What the f…! WHAT THE FCK!
I was simply lost for words albeit telling me more people should appreciate spam because it updates them (him) of the latest news and technology. As far as I know, the only latest thing about spam is its unrelated and unrequested email content in my inbox.
Therefore, I defended my principles saying business people don’t have the time to read junk mail. If you have 20-50 legit emails mixed up with 80-100 junk emails, you end up wasting time deleting the unwanted emails.
Plus, I told him purchasing third party emails from others isn’t a good practice – I‘d report them to MCMC if they gave a damn. And as long as I can remember, what you didn’t know about spam isn’t a good thing.
Nonetheless, do you read your junk emails?

No, but I do scan through mails in the junk folder. There are times when legit email caught into junk folder.
I read ‘em when I need a good laugh.
No. But I get far less spam mail than spam comments on my blog. I do read those sometimes.
I do not except the occasional peek right before I clear my spam folder. But apparently some people do–they create art from it.
I don’t read them thoroughly but I scan them thru via their title of the e-mail because at times, legit e-mails might accidentally end up in Junk Mail folder.

With SK2 and Akismet, there’s not really any spam to worry about. Unlike the 1-2 that somehow gets through.

Now, that’s some good use of paper. Except if it degrades later someone will be left only their bras and panties. LOL!

Well, that’s what I do as well. However, my friend actually opens up to read them. -___-
