Over the years , from time to time (is that redundant, not that I really care. If it really bothers you report it to your 8th grade English teacher, he/she will be glad you retained something ) the subject of Spam comes across this list. It is my understanding that Michael has gone to great lengths to protect us from Spam. Thank you Michael and Judith for allowing him the time away from family for such trivial pursuits (no tm, and thankfully none of the oh so gaining in popularity content linking advertising crapola).
However, every now and then someone finds a way to circumvent Michaels efforts. BFD we get a few spam messages coming through. Deal With It. A while back the founder of this list ( I got tired of using Michael in every other sentence) modified the display so that it no longer displayed our email addresses for the evil Spam Masters to harvest. Kudos (crap can't even use Kudos with sounding like Rush Blowhard (hi Sam). Something else high-jacked from general use by an extremist. Thank you Mr. Jessie Jackson and the gay community (not necessarily related) for high-jacking the Rainbow) to aforementioned founder herein to be referenced as the List God or LG for short! (Go back and read that last sentence without the parenthesis if you want it to make sense. So with all the complaining about Spam and all the efforts of LG to protect us from it (as if we don't already get 500 freaking spams a day, so what difference will 6 more make?) Why in the F*&^*^ do some of you find it necessary to include my email address in your responses to posts??? It really is ok to reference a name or a moniker or just quote the damn post. See examples: Example 1: Do you think I care about your opinion? >bob >rants suck That is an acceptable manner of responding to Bob's post of "rant's suck". Example 2: Do you think I care about your opinion? "rant's suck" No reference to individual who posted "rant's suck", but the response is understood because quoting the original post provides context. Again, no email address required. Example 3: Bob, do you really think I care about your opinion of my rant? No reference to original post, so this methodology can be a little harder to follow but still somewhat acceptable. Example 4: do you really think I care about your opinion? rant's suck [EMAIL PROTECTED] What the hell is the purpose of including Bob's email address? Why not just add his address into the Master Spammer's ultimate list of email addresses (now available on a three disc set for $49.95) Or you can be a little more creative and write a snippet of code that seeks out registration forms and register his email address with every registration form online. Who's the Fing_Tard who puts my email in his response. I have a stash of last years muffins right here. Did you see the Rock, Paper, Scissors commercial during the Toilet Bowl. Yeah, you better duck pinhead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226994 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
