I made the mistake of joining a site to play games online...apparently
this particular site only exists to harvest email addresses, 'cuz within
24 hours, I went from none to over 100/day. I installed a spamblocker
that reduced the volume that I actually ever saw to about 5/day...but
the 4th quarter spam surge has reached a volume that even Mailwasher
can't handle efficiently any more, forcing me to change my email
address. It's a minor change...just stick a dot between "peg" and "hall"
....it's still at sbcglobal.net. I set it up as a sub-account, so both
addresses will remain active till I get the work out, but I'd appreciate
it if everyone who has my email address will change it asap so I can
kill the original.

Set up a "disposable" free e-mail address at yahoo or something like that
for sites such as that one. Be sure to put a lot of numbers in there, like
peg3456-hall2323@... Makes it harder for the random generators to make a
match. If you DO get a lot of spam, just abandon it after awhile and get
another.
