I have an @aol.com email address, but I mainly use instant messager. The cause of most is the profile. Put something in it, you start getting spam. Make it empty, no more spam. And its a very tolerable amount, maybe 3 or 4 pieces a day. Ive had it for almost 5 years now (pitiful, yes I know).
I also have an @excite.com email address. Ive had it for 2 years. I use it to sign up for all those internet services, like no-ip.org, registration, and when you are forced to give it out. Guess how much spam I get. None. Not a single bit. Never.
Its so weird, because when you guys talk about how much spam you get, my run-ins with it have been forgettable, even at their worst. I gues im just lucky
