Ok, I didn't know that, but the fact remains, I am not going to change my postings.

An interesting stance for someone who is discussing the merits of a spam fighting tool, particularly when it would take no more than two seconds to eliminate the controversy.

Yes, it is interesting, isn't it?

If we aren't careful, these random hotmail.co.uk, yahoo.de, and skynet.be addresses, which are already in active use by spammers, could be discovered by spammers. Then they could be double or even triple-spammed. We'd be at risk of a full Monty Python skit breaking out.

Vigilance is best, I think.

The funny part is that [redacted] received uncontrollable spam arriving in his [redacted] inbox and then on his own accord [redacted] included [redacted] in his public post regarding uncontrollable spam arriving in his [redacted] inbox. A wee bit o'irony.

Based on his responses to edit, I'm sure [redacted] feels repeatedly mentioning [redacted] in public places won't further increase [redacted] chances of additional spam. As you pointed out, [redacted] is already on the spammer's active list and there's no chance that entries in the active list will be modified or sold. <G>

Signed,

I'm Not [redacted]

Although, a full Monty Python skit breaking out wouldn't be a bad thing. <BG>

So apparently, you feel it your personal job to help the spammers out, all because you do not agree with the way I am handling things. I hope you feel better that you had the last word.

(even though somebody CAN, my gut tells me that, I don't think anybody is leeching addresses from this forum)

Don't get your fur up, there is nothing personal. I gave you some sage advice and within your right, you chose to ignore it by saying, "I am not going to change my postings". You're now doing a one-eighty when someone, within their right, pointed out hypocrisy. I thought your position was quite clear from your response to virtualmike, don't get all bubbleguts on us now.

Well then, there's nothing to worry about is there. Besides, you yourself made the decision to post in the clear your own e-mail address seven times. I would have considered once, too many times. As John said, you are already on the spammers list. Shouldn't make any difference if your e-mail address is posted in a public forum seven or one hundred times. Right?

Then again, my concern wasn't about you. Instead, my concern was with the innocent people who didn't have a choice when no courtesy was shown by including their e-mail addresses in your public post. But, I guess they're on the list, too, so that makes it alright.

In any case, no hard feelings. You have a good day.

They are less than private. They are googlable.
Not that its a problem. Forums should be public and googlable

I am not going to start a war today, even though it is my instinct to.
