How many emails?

If I’m part of the squids, at least I’m a Giant Squid if my email popularity has anything to do with it. I woke up this morning to find 56,770 emails in my general email account. It would seem a host of hackers used ‘burningbird.net’ to send both phishing and virus emails throughout the world. Most of the entries back were those misbegotten, stupid automated replies that say something like, “Your email has a virus and therefore you’re trashed with us, Bud. Have a nice day”.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t in Japanese. And Korean. And Russian. French, too. And German…

Which is my way of saying, if you’ve expected a reply from me and haven’t received one, I would suggest sending the email to my gmail account, listed in the header bar.
