9 out of 10 E-mail are spam. I'm shocked. I didn't know the number was so low.

from someone who has managed multiple email servers, I'd say 9 out of 10 is about right.

I like the use of the word statisic. This is stat about emails is interesting. The thing about statisics is that they are like womens' bikinis. What they reveal is interesting, but what they cover up is vital.

I can tell you that I get no junk snail mail at all. That's the beauty of opt-out and telling your local post office that you don't want any of the local bulk mail flyers that go into everyone's mail box.
