Wonder why AOLers get so much SPAM? AOL employee stole your screen name and sold it!
 
30 MILLION IDs ripped off!

And these are the same guys who are leading the charge
to kick you off the Net if your PC is a infected and spamming
other users.

If MS would write tight code and AOL didn't hire
theives amybe THAT would cut down on all the viri and
spamming!

I was walking down the street, minding my own business, when on Thu,
24 Jun 2004 11:00:06 GMT, "Sparky" screamed
from behind the mulberry bush:

What does MS's code have to do with a stolen subscriber list? If the
****ers were using an Apple machine, they'd still be susceptible to
the spam.

Indeed. I AOLways thought Nelly(ie, Brantard) was lavender.


Mexican

Maybe a pastel pink?

You dumb smuck!


A misspelled P/K/B. How Nelly-ish!


Nelly is Mexican.

Very flawed.
How is Microsoft to write tighter code to cut out spamming?
If a spammer has your address, how does Microsoft stop the spammer?
You already have a variety of tools available to help with spam and
you don't even have to anstall or buy anything.
Why don't you use those tools?

Wonder why AOLers get so much SPAM?


We don't. I get less than a half dozen spam e-mails a day.

I thought it was 'virii'! No! Wait! Maybe it is 'viriii'! Damn, what is the
rule for pluralizing Latin nouns...uh, oh; hark! I am not writing Latin, but
English! So maybe I should apply English rules of pluralization? Like,
'viruses'?

English plural of virus = viruses

In Latin, viri (men) is plural of vir (man)

In Latin, I do not think there are recorded any instances of a plural
form for virus being different from the singular (in English words
such as sheep).

Same here.... SPAM is one of the few things that I felt made 9.0 worth
upgrading to.
