Good Bye (Let’s Hope), Spam…

The probably most immediate result in me posting this is that I will be spammed — because the title of this post contains those sensitive four letters.

I’ve just redone my messaging system. I can’t tell you the email addresses “just like this” — because, well, those obnoxious spammers are still out there. I’d say they’ll leap into action even if I embed my address in a YouTube video. As a result, I’ve had to set up a form which submits your message via email — don’t ask me how it works, it just works!

Those reasons are probably not worth a post but here’s what’s worth the post: I will be using a separate email address for most of my online accounts (except for the ones I use the most — again, nothing in open to deter the spammers). The thing is — if I respond from a different account and tell you this is my “main” / “real” account, you should use that instead.

In a previous era, my SNS account messages were in the same inbox as my other messages, and most crucially — I gave my email address “away”, which kind of aggravated the whole thing. These days, all my devices are now set up to use these new addresses. It might be a few years before my inbox gets flooded with spam again. But at least now, I’ll be more responsive online…
