There have been a few salvos back & forth about people not putting
their location, name or email address on their posts. I for one,
am not afraid to say who I am when I post a reply. I also usually
put my email address in the email spot too. I have one address that
is for family, friends & work. I have another one (from juno.com)
that I use when I know a business is involved that will most likely
sell my address to other people. I get a ton of junk mail &
spam at that one. Email address sales are a big biz & for $100.00
you can buy a cd-rom of 1000's of addresses to spam to till you drop
dead. The other day, some schmuck posted the good old chain letter,
send me a dollar & get rich thing. It got me wondering if our posts
& replies have another type of visitor. I am suddenly getting
bunches of spam & junk at my "nice" address. Sorry, this is just
one more thing cluttering up Joes great forum that isn't about
PW's but I like my privacy to be my terms. Thanx,
SS
