Has anyone ever actually bought Viagra from an email? And have they actually received some in the post?

I'm just curious. If you reply "Yes, I want a longer lasting erection. Please send me drugs". Will you get some? ]]>Aug 12th 2010 8:51PM<![CDATA[Comments on Dear Friend: 92 percent of all email is spam, says Symantec]]>http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/dear-friend-92-percent-of-all-email-is-spam-says-symantec/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/dear-friend-92-percent-of-all-email-is-spam-says-symantec/

wasn't at least one of you two supposed to be getting a university-level education? sigh.

my personal figure is somewhere around 99.5% (and my ISP already applies a light spam filter before it gets to me, so maybe the real one is higher still), so I was a bit surprised that they're quoting it as low as 92%.
