19/10: Spam
I get roughly 1 spam message every 45 minutes.

That's about 30/day and 10,000/year.

And I'm careful with my email! Imagine if I wasn't!

so also, it's not just about how careful you are, but also about how predictable your email address is. If it's all letters, then some bot somewhere will figure it out and try to send stuff to it. It's harder if you have periods, numbers, or other valid characters in there. At least that's what I've been told, because for some email addresses, I've never given them out... and yet they still get spam. Lucky? I don't think so.
