I had to abandon one account with an ISP. I used my correct email address in my early ventures onto the internet. The account attracted hoards of spam emails and... I had never bought anything online during those first few months on the internet. Only thing I had done was post on some usenet groups and an ISP's own forums.

Since concealing my email address the only spam I normally get is that which is sent to some newsgroups and email lists but not to a specific person.

Like you Reg I had to abandon one ISP because after accidently putting my unmunged addy on a newsgroup post I was getting two or three hundred spam mails a day - maybe more as my ISP mailbox was filled to capacity every day. And the buggers wouldn;t help by giving me a new email addy.

While using my easily demunged addy as above I get no spam at all, but luckily have another 99 addresses I can use if this one gets out to some mongrels list

That statement and statements in other of your posts, suggest a distressed mental state. You don't have to rush, but I suggest you speak with a professional. This is what I do for a living. Warmest regards, zara

I don't know that acronym. Please clarify. regards

Of course we are. If you ask nicely Red, you can have an email adress that works for me.

OTOH if you flame me off in a NG, you can f*ck off...:-)

Oh..its FOUL mouthed, rather than fowl mouthed.

Are you surprised? :-) Apparantly it isn't doing much for him or is what we see the result? :-)

I thought it was rather well put Ed!

What a turkey! Too chicken to give your real email address? I'll bet your just another old buzzard at the field! Obviously he really cooked your goose! Don't forget to duck as the point whizzes over your head! You crazy loon! Do you always just parrot whatever other people say? How's life at the nuthatch? Are you a hawk or a dove?

Ok, that's enough of that.

Anybody aware of any glow powered ARFs that look like a bird of some sort in the air? I've seen a few gliders and electrics that look like birds, but no glow planes ...

There's a hawk model in the SSS (Slope Soaring Simulator) that's somewhat fun to fly :)

This certainly completely and unequivocally explains the negative and asocial nature of your posts. Thank you.

About the only thing I could think of that MIGHT have been better was "GTAFFAARD" but it was too many letters to be simple and to the point.

Doug, doug, doug.......................it's not field buzzard...................... it's field geezer! While the fowl wordplay was quite ingeniouis (you old crow you!), the Yakimotoism "field geezer" is much more histerical!
