Wink.....like that is ever a threat for me to over think something?

I have had fun this morning. There is nothing like the male testosterone drive. Having Adven back posting has kicked in the desire to pee on the bush before he does. I love that guy but will never hug him.

Hmm looks like we hijacked a thread. And now you're peeing in bushes. Okay time to move on. Show's over.

Oh come on Wink. I was thinking that was one of my best satirical posts ever. Ever since Elitist passed on to the great beyond, Adven has taken the forefront as admired adversary. You may have misunderstood the metaphoric meaning of peeing on a bush.

Hmmmmm....I've never met Spam. Is he related to BeefJerky?

To answer the question, No.

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away Merlin. I've been over at Google looking up metaphors.

Okay, okay it was a pretty good post and it made me laugh but I won't admit to it no siree Bob

AOL is the worst. I delete everything. I tried unsubscribing too. I even sent them (unopened) in to TOSE mail for days in a row but it didn't help. I thought that new stupid 8.0 would be better filtered. I don't use AOL anymore, just the kids do.
My other acct is spam free and I'm happy for that!
(but I also don't give it out very often, and it's not the one I use to log in anywhere.)

I have far more spam on yahoo than I do on AOL and currently my hotmail account gets the least. Most of the hotmail spam I get is easy to spot because it either talks about enlargement or mortgage in the subject line or it has my screennmae as part of the address it comes from.
On AOL (8.0)I just hit the report spam button...naturally it doesn't stop the spammers from changing addresses, but it helps. I also block a lot of domains through Mail Controls.
On Yahoo and Hotmail I also do the blocks and send reports. (all without opening them)
They have all tried filtering based on certain words, but then people complain about not getting legitimate email. And in the past you could also report people for abuse to their domain and they would get kicked off, but now so many are fake and rerouted various places that it is nearly impossible.

And to answer the original question....I have never responded to spam email to buy something.

I opened two new Hotmail e-mail accounts for me and Bigdog after our other ones were getting too much spam. Neither of these addresses is "out there" and the addresses are very similar. One gets spam; the other doesn't. Go figure.

Here's one for the Twilight Zone files, lol. I ran across an old article a while back (during BB3) that spoke of all the "shenanigans" that went down during The Game 1 and 11, became REALLY curious as to what actually happened, and downloaded The Game files from here to read. I just happened upon them a coupla nights ago, unzipped em and started reading.

Ummmmmm...yeah...make that three people who got what you were talking about, lol.
