I usually take the time to unsubscribe,and as a result my spam is next to zero.I still get spam in the spam folder,but that can just be clicked away.I can honestly say that once I have unsubscribed I never hear from them again.I used to just delete the spam folder,but I found out that a lot of replies to me from businesses go into the spam folder.

yeah hotrod showed up after posting on new site. Hate it when things are linked together - you gotta read every little bit of crap - getting so it's hardly worth it.

Any of you computer gurus know if this sounds like good advice?

An 'X' is a valid character in email addresses. All alphanumeric characters (ABC123) and a few non-alphanumerics (_-.) are valid for use in email and WWW addresses.

Adding the 'X' changes the email address so that the virus/spambot will send any mail to the incorrect address. As an example; [email protected] is different than [email protected], which is different than [email protected], and so on.

Again, there is no connection between your getting spam from Hot Rod Hotline, or somewhere else, and signing up for the 'new' Ford Barn. It is simply coincidence.

However, it would have been easy for your email address to have been lifted/culled/scanned/recorded/etc if you'd ever posted to the 'old' Ford Barn. This is due to the way that emails were freely published on each reply you made on the 'old' Barn.
