I get a lot of email - probably 85 or 90% - that I would call spam-worthy.

Even if I read it (sporadically) it's mostly stuff I would never reply to or validate in any way. It's mind-boggling how many email lists I've been put on, whether I requested it or not. Anyone who donates to a charity or a political party knows what I mean.
