Mike and All:

Yes, certainly. Since the switch to Onenet, I'd say my receipt of spam has
increased 200-300 percent, if not more. I often get four or five offers a
day for the same exact product (and the spam catalog is not slight, filled
as it is with fat reducers and finance expanders, skin softeners and
herbal...um...rigidifiers - you name it). I don't know for sure that the
move to onenet is responsible, but it might be worth some investigation.
