| 232142 | 2004-04-26 03:23:00 | Well yes, but people who harvest emails are a bigger problem. And also, CD is just one method of transport. You can email a lot of addresses in one compressed file. As a test, I created a file in Excel with 2000 email addresses (not F1 users, don't panic, I made them up and copied them). The plain text file was 52kb. Compressed, it was so small it practically made room on the disk (4kb). That means a million emails are very emailable in one file, or could fit on a floppy. Mind you, you'd get 600 million on a CD, which is close to every email address out there, probably. I like your motive, but not your solution. Keep them coming. robo. |

| 232143 | 2004-04-26 04:40:00 | Nah! Public firing squads for spammers, with world-wide television coverage. A spammers execution channel even? Draw lots to drop a spammer? Recommission the Coliseum? Boil a a spammer in oil day? Sky-diving demonstrations, without a parachute? Rent a live-bait for shark fishing Too harsh? How about a chain-gang then? Motorway repairs and construction during rush hour? Soap collection in Paremoremo during shower time? Nothing's too good for such fine people. Cheers Billy 8-{) ]:) |

| 232146 | 2004-04-29 00:01:00 | I must say "clear net" is doing a dam good job at filtering out the spam mail so I never see it, it puts all the spam mail in a folder at (clear) called "spam" belive it or not, just that now and again one slips past . Now and again I have to go to http://www . clear . net . nz and log onto "webmail" to check it out . |
