Thank you for choosing to call me a fool in private.
That is very considerate of you.

I've been fighting spam since before the web existed,
I do know a bit about it. I also know that you can
set up a website and I'll go to it from another machine
(that doesn't have my email address above but does have
others) with Internet Explorer and Opera 3.x through 6,
Netscape 3.x through 7, and Mozilla 1.x. I won't use
any tricks, a plain vanilla Windoze 98 box and standard
installed browsers, no added protection. Further, I'll
repeat the exercise via dial-up, DSL, and cable. This
should mimic the vast majority of browsers in use. I
defy you to discern my email addresses from any of them.
IOW, put up or shut up.

Why is it that the quality of content of emails sent by
certain individuals to these various lists is in inverse
proportion to the quantity of emails sent by these same
individuals? The quantity of crossposts used also seems
to directly correlate by the same track. If no-one else
has postulated such a law and corollary, allow me. :) -g
