A company I part-own owns a very valuable domain (web.us). I turned on a catch-all email box such that every piece of email addressed to anyone at web.us gets dropped into a box. I was curious what kind of stuff would be addressed there.

Seems that there's a metric assload of people who put someone@web.us as their email address when signing up somewhere that's likely to get them spam.

Somewhere near 5000 spams per day. Impressive. Very impressive.

But the scary part is how much of a geek I must be to find this impressive.

I'll likely turn it off tomorrow. :-)
