Where does most of your spam come from? From some guy claiming to be a Nigerian prince? Perhaps from some company selling degrees? Maybe even from a pharmaceutical company selling Viagra?

Well none of my spam comes from any of the above places, it all comes from Uni. Wolverhampton Uni love sending me spam, spam about events they think I would be interested in but have not requested information about, spam because it's a general message sent to many people which only applies to a few and spam that other people have managed to send to hundreds of people because some cretin doesn't know how to use BCC.

Worst of all is the fact that this spam can't be blocked, I need to allow email from this address.

A perfect example was waiting for me today in my inbox. Someone thought it would be a good idea to wish everyone well for the Christmas holidays, that someone has a phobia of blind carbon copy. Stupidity breeds stupidity, because hundreds of email address's were now just a "Reply to All" click away it was only time before morons decided to use it for the same.

So now, I have a gigantic list of email address copied into the body of the email for every cretin that felt themselves important enough to address the thousands of students listed. That's annoying but it gets worse, the replies looked like they were written by a backwards five year old e.g "hey peoples merry xmas n a happy new year 2 y'all hope ur wishes n dreams cum true".

If I was in school this is of course to be expected, idiotic immature teens tend to use this deformed English because their peers do and therefore it's cool. Well this is University, I'm meant to be amongst intellectuals however this is sadly not the case. Are these people really expected to hold a professional occupation? I despair.
