How can a spammer who does not even know they have sent me multiple copies of an email know where I have been on the Internet? Besides, I make sure to flush my cookies whenever I accidentally go to a bad site at work. I know of too many people who have gotten into trouble over stuff like that.

Anytime I surf on a computer that is not mine, such as at work, it is only proper that I erase such things as the cookies, history, etc.

Yeah… If I wanted to use AIM directly, then I would be.
