Very cool tip re: knowing who has been selling my email address to 3rd parties. Thanks Mike!
Just an aside for those who may be interested. Mike is now in the last half of his first year in college, having examed out of high school at 17 and going straight to college to "leave the idiots & bullies in his dust." The other week in one of his computer classes the instructor was showing the class how to use some basic "DOS" commands in a Command Window. He admonished the class to always use "_" characters "like the experts do", as instead of " " (blank spaces), in their directory and file naming conventions, as they would not be able to apply DOS commands on any file or directory with nested space characters. Well Michael popped his hand up and proceeded to show the teacher how to use a double-quote at both ends of a qualified "d:\Path Name\File Name.Ext" string to perform any valid DOS command. "Hmmm, I didn't know that!" Just goes to show that nobody knows it all, and that indeed there are time when "wisdom does come from the mouth of babes." It is fun to watch as Mike keeps right on growing and applying his knowledge. Every once in a while it is fun to have him kick me in the tail with something this old goat did not know after nearly 25 years in the business. Then again, it is more fun for him to actually learn things from myself and ProFox members just when he thinks he is getting it all nailed down.
