If only it were that low! I maintain two AOL addresses -- one for
Trinoc*coN (which is almost completely changed to a new address now),
and one for myself (which I use when on the road). I get about 10 UCEs
per day for TC, and the valid traffic is down to one every two weeks. I
get about two UCEs a day for myself, and I *never* get valid traffic;
heck, I've never disseminated that address!

The weird part is that I've gotten a UCE from a credit card company to
my spamtrap on RoadRunner for a pre-approved card. How can they
pre-approve someone whose name they don't know?!?
