This is going to sound like a cranky old man blog post, but I absolutely hate spam. I conduct a lot of my business when I’m out and about, so my iPhone is like my right hand. I can’t tell you how inconvenient it is when I am trying to look up information regarding a client that I’m about to visit, and then I only have an inbox full of spam. On top of that, can I vent for a little bit and talk about spam filters?

Every reputable e-mail system does need to have spam filters set in place so that you do not receive Viagra junk e-mails over and over again, but the inconvenience that this has caused me is that I often will have a client’s bulk e-mail go directly to my trash so that I never receive it. This has made me paranoid so that I check my trash all the time to make sure that I don’t mess up on an interaction with a client, but I absolutely hate the fact that it has to be this way. Who started spamming in the first place? We should find that person and shoot them because I hate having to deal with spam on a daily basis!
