The volume of spam has indeed gone up since Jan. 1. It's an unfortunate fact.

There's loads of it about at the moment. The volume of spam is ramping up as the day progresses.

It was unfortunate that it had come to this. I'm satisfied with the fact I was able to tell my side of the story.

I know for a fact my house is gone.

While the volume of spam reaching AOL email inboxes has remained at low levels compared to it's height in late 2003, the spam that's out there is more insidious, crafty, devious, and dangerous than ever.

We do give preference to the lower volume renter. It's simply a resource allocation. We don't have to do it too often. We prefer not to have to do it at all. The realities are of business that sometimes we have to make tough decisions.
