Easy: I use it as a spam drop, and every now and then I like to go
harvest the spam for filter training purposes. Not sure what _else_ it
would be useful for; goat knows it blows chunks as a webmail service.

Heed your own advice now and then, Hadron Quark.
Your MO is to totally misread what was written

Well, Hadron, pray tell: What OS, ****ty beyond imagination, is responsible
for that incredible amount of spam?

No kidding. Let's see if we can follow his "thinking":

1) He whines in incredulity that we might be suggesting MS is somehow
responsible for the majority of spam _TO_ hotmail accounts

2) We point out Windows - an MS product - is in fact responsible, albeit
indirectly, for the vast majority of all spam - which, of course,
includes spam to hotmail

3) He whines that pointing this out to him somehow doesn't deal with his
point, despite being directly to his point

Nope, sorry, I can't figure out his mental processes; I'm not entirely
sure he has any.


> Well, Hadron, pray tell: What OS, ****ty beyond imagination, is
> responsible for that incredible amount of spam?

Including, again, much headed to hotmail accounts. Wonder if he'll ever
clue in to this concept?
