SPAM

When Monty Python spoke of Spam it was funny. Now the world is awash with Spam!
Herewith an attempt to fight back:

Anti spam fights spam bots

The purpose of this page is to make it so spammers who attempt to collect email addresses off the web, via programs, will not have real email addresses in their database. Anti-Spam causes problems because they will have to clean out their list. It also makes their database worthless for reselling purposes because the company purchasing their spam database will have worthless email address.

How ANTI-SPAM works

This page has fifty randomly generated email addresses (refresh and new ones will appear). At the bottom of the page is a link to this page again, essentially reloading it for programs to collect more fake email addresses. Email collecting programs (spam bots) will be sent into an infinite loop by following the link at the bottom of the page and will get more and more fake email addresses stuck in their databases.
Spam is the electronic world's biggest problem. A fool proof method of filtering out spam does not yet exist, but we don't have to sit back and take it. Anti-Spam pages like this one make spamming less profitable and is our way to help 

FIGHT SPAM.

Help out and join the fight again Spam!
Want to help with the Anti-Spam effort? When a spammer's program visits your web page, they will check all the pages that you link to for email addresses. So, all you have to do is link to this page and whenever a spammer's program scans your page, they will be sucked into this one. To link to this page use this simple code: which can found by clicking this link and going to their site. Embed the code into your web-site and give the spammers a run for their money!

Where to see 'real' history!

So there I am in the British Museum in awe of the ancient achievements of Hadrian and seeing various artefacts from his period when I hear . . . .

"You know Jane? . . . well she has Marcus Aurelius in her conservatory."



So I guess it's all round to Jane's place for an additional dose of culture!
