e-mail spam

So;

The last few days the amount of spam I get has decreased considerably. Did something happen somewhere?

don't think so,I still get tons of crap

Maybe a botnet got shut down or something. I use gmail and it has a good spam filter so I don't really notice how much I do or don't get, so I have no idea if mine has decreased.

Haven't received any in weeks myself, here's hoping it stays that way

Back in October they shut down a big spam network.

I remember that, and I did have a decrease for a week or so, then it went back to normal. (About 20 letters a day.) But the last couple of days I've got less than 5. Did they whack ANOTHER one?
