Because spam runs 2000:1 compared to legitimate e-mail, the Wado e-mail inbox is almost always overloaded. The webmaster does not need: viagara, vigara, vi*gara, cialis, cilias or get rich quick schemes. But the spammers flood the inbox every hour of every day making it impossible to answer legitimate inquiries.
