Heh, the spammers have gotten so bad even legitimate attempts to do
something get treated suspect. Ah well. But hey, if the guy wants to
start new forums he'll need a lotta luck. It's a pain in the ass
running forums.




Web pages have become like radio and television....just another giant
billboard in your living room.

I gave away 8 nice radios a while back as I no longer listen to any of
them. I do have a Digital TV plugin for my laptop for the novelty of it.
I put up a little UHF panel antenna Philips makes I bought from Wally World
and get 9 channels of analog and 13 channels of DTV. I don't pay to watch
or listen to advertising that exceeds the program by 30%.

It's our fault, all of it. SOMEONE, some idiots, are buying from the
advertisers who think everyone wants to listen to their spam. It's all
part of the American/West European mind conditioning...which seems to work,
dammit...but not on me. I'm overrun with Usenet Entertainment. There's so
much of it I can hardly find a place to put a coffee cup...(c;

Just out of curiosity, what make/model of tuner do you have? I'm about
ready to go that route, just to get one more thing out of the house.
