I'll repeat my calculation. I'm receiving at least 55,000 spams a year
at the rate they are arriving this month. I'm using automation to nuke
most of them, but if I did not, at three seconds each that's over a
work week every year devoted to killing that mail --
Is an annualized rate of 55,000 spams a year, sustainable for a year? If you
know statistics figure 1-3 standard deviations for that monthly average.
