Well, is it possible that you posted your email address on a message board, a website guestbook, or any other public place on the internet? If you did then that would explain why you're getting so much spam.
If you didn't post your email address anywhere then your email address is probably already on a spammer's list. Spammers engage in what is called 'dictionary attacks'. These spammers attempt to send to every possible email address that they can think of. You are most likely the victim of one of these dictionary attacks, especially if you have a common email address.

you do not even understand what her idea of huge is. and also you do not understand if she become all communicate. advantageous, she would like the truly massive ones. She would like the common ones or the small ones purely as a lot. yet in case you do not degree up (pardon the pun) to her criteria, you do not truly want her besides.
