186243 2003-10-24 18:37:00 I can't really say why, as yet, but trust me (especially those of you hard workers) it could be really really worth it.

All will come clear in time (around December 1st). I can then explain, but if you've got something dodgy in your email field, change it to an address you check regularly.

And don't worry, you won't get spammed because of it, we don't do that. Not that they tell me about anyway. It's those funny little guys with the pointy hats that wander around just out of the corner of your eye that worry me. Perhaps it's them that actually buy stuff from spam.

But seriously, be quick to avoid disappontment. You'll wish you had. You'll barf if you miss out. Satisfaction won't be guaranteed.

I cannot possibly comment more than this. Already said too much. Yep, never really knew when to stop. Was always a problem at school. Sometimes less is enough. Not that I am excited or anything. Nothing to see here, cows catch fire every day. These aren't the droids your looking for, move along.

186245 2003-10-24 20:24:00 You are quite correct.

However there are those that have paid their dues. And if someone wanted to give someone something, they wouldn't want to have to work too hard to do so before they found someone else. Know what I mean?

Isn't it time you changed teams? The 'pool aren't doing so good.

186246 2003-10-24 21:40:00 Does it matter if the e-mail address in the profile is hidden from view ??? stu140103 (137)

186248 2003-10-24 22:02:00 nah it shouldnt matter if email address is hidden or not as i used to have mine hidden but was still contacted by someone at pcworld...

186251 2003-10-24 23:27:00 u cant blame pressf1 for that...

when i signed up i was abit hmm myself so put in my hotmail address and after a while noticed no sudden increase in spam, it was around the same so changed it to my proper email address that i use more often than hotmail...and havent received more than 10 spam emails in the last 6-8 months.....

so would think maybe some other websites you go on or something else would contribute to your email address being attractive to spam...


and in some postings people put myemail at hotmail dot com.. which people here would pick it up to be myemail@hotmail.com.....

can we do that in the profile? as if we can..maybe you could do that....see if it makes a difference...

186252 2003-10-24 23:31:00 A nicd trick is to get an address, say:
JoeBloggs@orcon.net.nz
And coz Orcon give you 3 email re-directs, sign up for:
JoeBloggs1@orcon.net.nz
JoeBloggs2@orcon.net.nz

Give only close personal friends your REAL address of JoeBloggs@Orc.. and when signing up for things, use JoeBloggs1@Or... That way if you find you're getting a large amount of SPAM, you can cancel the two Re-Directs and sign up for:
JoeBloggs3@Orco....
JoeBloggs4@Orc...

And the cycle starts again....

Personally, Ive only had two pieces of Spam since I left Hotmail... in about 2-3 months...!!
