Aha! the things you can learn on FT!

I'm not technosavvy enough to have figured out on my own how all this incredibly unwanted email was being sent to me. (We're talking totally unwanted: solicitations to enlarge a body part that I don't even possess, for example -- and that's one of the tamer ones!)

So -- now the question: I've been told and read that the worse thing a person can do is respond to email trash (spam is too nice a word . . . think of all those nice folks in Hawaii who love the stuff!). Consequently, I don't.

?? -- do I really only have 2 choices: 1) living with it or 2) getting a new email addy?

I'm not smart enough to know what the WPoison option noted above is. Will anyone help?
