| 82566 | 2002-09-25 00:09:00 | and don't forget good old www.snopes.com, the best website ever. | honeylaser (814) | ||
| 82567 | 2002-09-25 00:56:00 | Even when that 'Noddy' spent hours constructing your Candy photo, Baldy? Nice to be appreciated! | Some Noddy (2011) | ||
| 82568 | 2002-09-25 03:18:00 | Since noone has exactly answered your questions ... Yes, it is possible. Yes, Microsoft have built in this behaviour, and have released patches to fix it. The person who gave you that polite reply probably has a business, and doesn't want to aggravate people. You can see how they feel about it. I'd say that's an honest response. Bouncing this stuff hurts the other "victim"( the person whose system it was forwarded through), not the perpetrator. Just dump junk. Don't bounce it. |

Poppa John...glad I'm not alone in my lack of knowledge. This site is better than T.V for entertainment when some you get going. Is there an article re ADDICTION.....no, don't tell me yet. | Maryann (2010) | ||
| 82573 | 2002-09-25 09:40:00 | Maryann > Is there an article re ADDICTION..... yes and it turned into a stuff slinging fight, i think its one of the few threads to get locked, stuff flew everywhere.... It started as an off topic question, you'll see just run a search |

| 82575 | 2002-09-25 10:19:00 | Maryann, Rule #1. If someone sends you something that sounds too good to be true or horribly scary - check it first. Hoaxes are around. Some just clog bandwidth, others get you to delete files that you need etc etc. If you get virus warnings - "Run this program...., Delete this file... cause Norton can't find it!" - DON'T!! Oh, and a friend sent me the Bill Gates one last week. The links pasted above were easy to find - I just went to my email to him and copied and pasted here. |
