Spam, spam, and more spam

I don't know how come I never use my Gmail account address for suscription to anything, yet I get plenty of spam there.  On the other hand, I do give my humble Yahoo! address any time I'm required by some website to register for something, and right now for the past 30 days I have 10 times as much spam accumulated in my Gmail account than in my Yahoo! account.

I don't think there're a lot of people spamming me because I can see clear patterns in the messages I get, but definitely it does look like they're more people now a days than a couple of months ago.  One or two months ago, for a few days all of the spam I'd get was from a single named sender (rather than first name, space, surname), and the title was a two word phrase in the lines of "Press Release".  For a few days also, usually around holidays, I'd get noticeably less spam.  Now a days I get even some spam in Portuguese and Spanish.

I bet some of those guys got my address from those freaking chain mails some bitch used to send me.  I asked her politely and with good humour to please not send more, but that fucking moron didn't understand.  She probably thought I was just blabbering, and ignored my requests.  She kept sending instead more and more chain mails but only the ones she considered "really urgent", such as religious (or supersticious) messages, and even mails with "useful" information on how to protect myself against new viruses.  All of these always ended with "please pass along this message to as many people as you can because it's so urgent".
