Over the last week or so I've been deluged with spam emails, dozens of them a day. Most are in my inbox and have to be weeded out, while some go to the spam folder where they obscure the odd 'real' message which the mail system has put there - I know I've deleted at least one proper email by mistake as a result.
Add to that the extreme clunkiness of BT Yahoo mail at the moment - I'm on the new version which is billed as being twice as fast, having even better spam protection and being a breeze to use, but in my experience it is none of these things - and mail-wise things are very slow here indeed, so if you've contacted me and not had a reply yet, that's most likely why.
I've noticed an increase in spam comments on this site, too, but frankly, spammers, I wouldn't bother if I were you as I delete your pesky offerings pretty sharpish.
