Toms View of the World

The BBC are reporting that there is a plan afoot to create an email “snapshot” of modern life.

However they’re asking for emails representing your interests and life - rather than a true representation of the contents of your inbox.

Sensible I suppose - ‘cos a true indication would be one or two “real” emails, then a few hundred offering cheap pharmaceticals, loans, stock advice, dating services, “male enhancements” etc.

(is it just me, or is anyone else seeing a massive increase in “foreign language” spam - I’ve got loads using Cryllic typefaces with subject lines like - “подключение телефонии” )
