What Myth?

There was a time long ago at the infancy of the internet that if you had an AOL or EarthLink email address people with the same provider would be more trusting and apt to start a relationship with you than with people that had a different provider.

That was a long time ago. Virus, Trogan Horses, Worms and spam lots of spam have changed all that. People trust only people they know not people that have the same email provider or isp. And even then everyone has virus protection and use it to even scan attachments from people they trust. Or going a direction quite a few are going and that is not opening any attachments.

Today with all the different email addresses out there this thought is really a myth. You trust people you get to know not someone with a preceived commonality.
