What kind of idiot responds to a message...

It's apparent you gotta wonder about anything at all if you think this is a

And it's even MORE apparent that you've not read many of the
posts here! (PLONK, encore!)

You obviously haven't looked to see this thread has been crossposted.

I think a lot of us use Hotmail for the same reason as you do, S.M.
Serba - to foil Spam. I mung up my real Hotmail addy with "UNSPAM",
and use an ISP mailbox for my non-newsgroup business & private
correspondence, which only gets occasional spam. "Tweed", that's why
you can't really judge anyone who uses Hotmail for doing so.

I post using Hotmail because they filter my mail before I download
it. My
Outlook gets stuffed with spam and I have to filter it after the
fact.
Wastes a lot of my time. And I otherwise use my non-hotmail account
for my
business. Pointless, since that is now where I am getting all my
spam....
I advise anyone to have an address provided by a free service, like
Yahoo
mail or Hotmail, just for NG posting. And to post their addy in
their
sigline eg. smserba at hotmail dot com. The spiders and email
harvesters
cannot identify that as an address. But they can pick up the
addresses in
quoted replies.

I must have plonked him before as I never saw the original post.

No, these posts (multiple threads; if you don't read other cat
groups you'd have never seen them) were *never* xposted into RPCA.
The first one was xposted by Bobcat, and the OP just followed up to
his/hers which is why you are even bothered by them. The real
question is, why did Bobcat xpost the thread (ok, new subject line,
but still xposted) into RPCA? Maybe he needed a recipe?

I've heard privately from someone else in this newsgroup
(rec.pets.cats.anecdotes) and have apologized to them for
crossposting. Further, I think a group apology is required, so this is
it. Sorry. My only reason is that I have an aversion to persons -
especially trolls - who attempt to disconcert readers of cat
newsgroups for their own warped pleasure, and was expressing my
aversion of them to those readers.
