Is there any relationship between the numerous Chinese and Russian spam emails I'm been getting recently and my heavy usage of Skype ?
I spend the afternoon with some ToIP security expert who seems to believe that the non SIP nature of Skype was the root cause of all the junk mail I've been getting lately (IE non standard protocol with undocumented but well known holes and not firewall managed) ...
.. Am I the only one to experience this, and is this true ?
Can you be more precise in what you mean? Getting spam means spammers have your email address normally. What would Skype have to do with it?

Not sure what you mean - I have been on Skype for a looong time - and have not received any of these you speak of...

No idea about Skype and spam. but the fact that your email is available on your blog ( http://mgoldberg.typepad.com/about.html ) is enough for all spammers ...
Avoid giving your email this way ... or encode it in a human readable way.
Spam is a global activity , this may interest a VC like you.

Use a gmail account, it enables you to report spam when you get one. I am now sending you an invite, OK ? Use it if you like.

You should start staging comments and trackbacks, at least spam content would not make it to your blog.

To put it quite simply and non-mechanical, blackheads are little bumps embedded into the pores of our skin. They are usually yellowish or blackish in color.
Blackheads are a type of acne called an open comedone. According to medical practitioners, [url=http://blackhead-onlin.org/blackhead-get-pore-rid/map.html]bla

You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no sign of infection on or surrounding the blemish.
