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.... As for someone's previous post about offline conversations, as this thread is off topic, it should be offline of this NG. Anything tending towards off topic subjects, or content which might incite flame wars should be taken offline. Thus, not munging your address or posting in your signature line another method of displaying a valid address makes other communications possible. The OP, Electric Nachos, has munged their replyto address making offline communications impossible unless you happen to know their real addy. 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. "Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Why? I'm on this group to swap anecdotes about my cats. If you aren't try another group. I'm not quite sure why I'm suspicious of hotmail posts, but I am and your post wasn't helpful. Tweed "S.M.

Thus, not munging your address or posting in your signature line another method of displaying a valid address makes other communications possible. No munging your address is necessary because of spambots. Now I agree with the part of putting a contact method in your signature line. I myself just use a valid email address in the from line that is a throwaway address that can be changed at any time.

The spiders and email harvesters cannot identify that as an address. But they can pick up the addresses in quoted replies. You mean currently they can't - which is good. As a programmer I could write a routine that would figure out the email address by replacing the at with @ and dot with a . character. Better to put a word or character in the address that is invalid and give instructions on removing it. |

It's apparent you gotta wonder about anything at all if you think this is a
"kind" newsgroup! Christina Websell wrote in message ... I also gotta wonder about someone who spoils a thread in a kind newsgroup. PLONK "Electric Nachos" wrote in message ...

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.

I suggest a cumulative plonk of this person, as I'm about to do. The address is There's no one sadder than a troll who can't catch anyone because no one's reading his/her bilge! 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.
