Ok im a little confused as usual But can someone tell me where you change
your email address at when posting so it doesnt show your real email address


In Outlook Express click on . . .

Tools - Accounts - News - Properties - General Tab

Change your real e-mail to something bogus.

To avoid a problem, you choose to forego a key benefit of email. You
provide no way for a stranger or old acquaintance to reach you. Fine if
you're happy with that, but don't act like it is a solution to the problem.

My point was that if you avoid posting your private EMAIL, it will
attract less SPAM, hopefully none.

My point was that you *can't* avoid it. Sooner or later it will leak.

Yes, it's me writes:

I don't see anyone posting home addresses and telephone numbers, why an
email address?

I get a lot of replies or inquiries privately from Usenet postings. Some
people will want to communicate, but not publicly.

So do I off my website. I'm not particularly interested in conversing
with anybody from Usenet unless it's a mutual exchange for some
reason.

It does reduce spam by an amazing amount.

Well, that explains those hot chats I hear you have with
Karen Smith. :}

I have no problems with Karen - she has an opinion and is more than
willing to share it. We all do that.

Seriously, though, I agree. There haven't been that many usenetters I've
encountered over the years with whom I wanted to exchange emails or
telephone numbers or some other information.

I have developed friendships over the years on Usenet and have even
met quite a few in real life. A couple of fishing partners were met
on the Internet and I have a few social contacts that I regularly
converse with.

So there is a benefit in a mutual exchange of contact information, but
just for thrill of being contacted by somebody I don't know, uh uh.

One, I don't want a stranger to contact me - of what possible use
would that be?

Two, many of my old friends are still friends and those who do keep in
touch have my email address and have for years. So what's the point?

By the way, nice looking website you have.

I've found that I can usually contact an old acquaintance by picking up the
telephone, and vice-versa.

Harry,
You do seem to be obsessed with me. For the last week, I seem to be the
topic in every one of your posts. I am thinking of starting a 12 step
program to help you get over your obsession, would you be interested in
joining?

It's easy to "kill filter" you under any circumstances, bozo. And even if
it were not, no one really cares how hard you work at proving what
an ass you are.

You're just another variant of the SmithersPox.
