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. "S.M. Serba" wrote in message ... 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? Cheryl 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.
