The end of one road, and the beginning of another
 

This is getting ridiculous. It's /skip/gallery

Sheesh. I think I'll go back to bed.

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin

Wally,
Just how does my including my email address in a usenet post harm you?
If you can explain how this practice of mine manages to affect you
personally in any way, I may stop doing so. Until then, I refuse to
join into this mass paranoia our society is devolving into. They ought
to change the last line of our national anthem to "the land of the
fearful". This issue of fearing to identify yourself and hiding behind
anonymity is just a minor symptom of what I think is a major and largely
unrecognized problem our country has been developing for a number of
decades.

Sorry about jumping up on a soapbox, but you managed to push one of my
hot buttons.

Take care - Dan

Dan,

I often reply to questions posted outhere on the usenet. I often
include in those posts (as may be apparent) the mention that posting a
good e-mail @ddress is not a good idea because spambots prowl here.
They will grab that @ddress (that you though was for your use alone) and
soon you will have an inbox full of:
Enlarge your size .. both genders
Cheap Viagra
Better than Viagra
Like Viagra but for women
Lose 50# next month
Get out of debt
Come and sign up for my porno webcam
Get a college diploma without any class
etc.
I never did figure out what many were about, they had pictures of girls,
but they were in chinese or something.

It seems to take a couple of months for them to trap your @ddress and
sell it to every spammer in the universe, but once it starts, no amount
of "click here to stop getting these inportant messages" will do you any
good (in fact I think they sell that list for more money).

Last year I was forced to abandon an @ddress we had used for eight years
because with 60-80 spam messages a day, it was difficult to find any
actual messages that I might want to read. There is only some much the
spam filters can do, and the you I had running on my mail server got so
big that the server could not handle the load.

I wish you the best of luck, but the spambaots will get you if you do
not protect yourself.

Wally,
Sorry I jumped all over you this morning. I'm usually not such a jerk.

It's not courteous practice to post e-mail addresses in an open usenet
group without permission.

I'm probably more guilty than most about trimming stuff from replys (do
I get extra points for doing it this time?), and sometimes other
people's addresses get included that way, but only if they put them in
their original post. As far as my own address, I made the decision long
ago that I would rather deal with the resultant spam (filters, etc.) and
make it as easy as possible for people to contact me than to try to hide
from the spam. For the same reason, you'll find my phone # in my
signature block.

Have a great weekend - Dan

Skip,
Save yourself a bunch of money and do the documentation yourself. The Coast
Guard has a very friendly staff the will hold your hand. My documentation
cost about $85 if my memory serves me correct and the documentation service
wanted $450. The one trick is not to send in pages that don't have to be
filled out. Otherwise, they record a blank page and charge you :)

Exhaustion, mental and physical...

It's www.justpickone.org/gallery/skip not the other way around...

I probably won't have it populated before the end of the weekend; there's
too much to do today, and I get my wife for the weekend (we still don't
live
together; her home and job is 80 miles away - kinda like a traveling
job!),
so I likely won't address that project until she leaves.

Which is at noon Sunday, so she can move the last of her kids out of the
house which is listed :{))

Oh, no wonder there was some kid friction. The picture is a little
clearer now.
