YOU GET SPAM IF YOU JOIN.HERE.!!!!!!

Since joining this "INFORMATIVE POSTING SITE", I have received, daily, spam and PHISHING regarding .....an E-BAY account, ....and a Credit Union account ........DO NOT JOIN ....the info is NOT WORTH THE HASSEL OF THE SPAM



Is that your real email address? Spambots harvest email addys from usenet. Learn to munge!

Anyone ignorant enough to use their real e-mail address in any public usenet forum deserves the SPAM as a lesson learned...............

So then "Doc", your also saying, that any info being given here is ignorant also.......my e-mail is only one on many that I have, but the point is I was so happy to find a forum that I missed that idea of adding more in the e-mail to stop phishing and spam. As you notice, it has been changed.

Yep, that's why most ISP's give ya 3 or 4 addys nowadays so you can use one as the ''spam dump''. At least that's what I do..........

gee, no s*it, asshole? Ya think that's why those of us who use our real address use software that edits the junk out?

You must be some sort of rocket scientist. Tell the truth-- you didn't figure this out all by yourself, did you?

How one can extrapolate that conclusion from what I originally stated is beyond me.............................

Doc

OP is a rocket scientist, maybe?

:)

how was the vacation, Doc? Drop me a line sometime.....

I must confess....it was all my own fault for getting that SPAM. I did NOT pay attention to everything on the site with regards to the PUBLIC E-MAIL. I did not want to start a fight here.

.............MY APOLOGIES.

I have read many replies for others problems, and find this forum exceptionally usefull, again.......SORRY

Well, at least you got an education. I've been on the internet for a number of years now, have been on many a forum and newsgroup to find out information....and have only posted perhaps 2 or 3 posts asking for information. Most of the time, some careful reading, patience and legwork will net you all of the proper information that you need. This is why the person who appears to not want to do their own research is often given a hard time. It didn't come easy for the rest of us, we just have buckled down and spent the time educating ourselves about the net.

nah-- for me it was the ALL CAPS and the multiple !!!!!s in the title.

That's been a pretty efffective idiot detector that has served me well on the 'Net.
