One can never be sure around here:-)

Unlikely as it seems at first glance, I would have to say the quality of 
the email I get at home is vastly different from what I see at work, and 
I don't have a good explanation.

If I took the advice I get at home, I'd be a squillionaire (or broke), 
whereas advice at would have Percy carrying me.

Also, the traffic my firewalls drop/reject is quite different, notably 
in volume. Can't explain that one either.

So I can sort of believe spammers are sending though gmail.
