Vaguely related, every single thread I read has "A copy of further followups will be emailed to this poster" in bold just under the message box. That used to show up only when someone really was wanting to recieve followups, but I see it even in threads I start and I know I haven't checked that box. Actually, if memory serves correctly, the "check here if you would like post replies emailed to you" box used to only show up on the original post and I see that constantly now too. Ghost box? Poor memory? Not sure...

Fred wasn't a bad kid. Lost his Mom. Dad was raising a whole flock of boys by himself. Poverty. School lunches were bound to be low on the priority list. Haven't been to Mexico in years. I don't think we have too much longer before it comes to us. Not a bad thing necessarily.... I'll keep the Spam dish to myself - for now. Yes, I believe chick feet would be OK in stock. Would they have all that much flavor though? I think I used necks when I made stock in the past. Those have lots of connective tissue right? After all, what holds a neck together or am I thinking of something else? Chicken necks are deceptively long. Maybe they're baby swan necks. I wonder if the human neck looks long once the head is removed? So is there a good recipe for stock that doesn't use a ton of leeks or what can I substitute for leeks? Too expensive when you figure you throw at least half of them away. At first I read your "pouty lip injections" as "poultry lip injections". I guess the human brain is odd in answer to Orrin's other question. Jake Gyllenhaal

our ISP is having the same problem....have been with them for over 10 years...plan on sticking with them. Here is an excerpt from their last email.... Hello ISP Customer, Recently, the internet has suffered a dramatic increase in the overall amount of junk email, or spam, that has been sent out. In the last year alone, there has been over a 120% increase in the amount of junk email, to the point where there are 9 pieces of spam email out there for every 1 piece of legitimate mail. Here at *********, we think that this is an unacceptable amount of unsolicited email to have to sift through every day, which is why we have used our PureMessage spam filter to help cut down on the amount of unwanted emails that make it through to your email box. While our filter does a good job of keeping out unwanted emails, we want to take things a step further to help filter your email even more effectively. Together with Google, we are going to be transitioning to a new system for email delivery that will help to ensure more accurate email filtering with faster delivery time. This will prevent delays between when email is sent and when you receive it, while still keeping all the unwanted emails out of your inbox. One of the great things about my ISP, is that when I call, I usually get right through to a tech and they address any problems I may have in a timely and courteous manner.

Always move them to your junk mail folder do not just delete them that is how your email program learns what is junk. Also it is not advised to click on the unsubscribe me because in actuality that lets them know it is a good valid email address and one that more spam can be sent to. In most email programs you can set up extra filters other than the standard ones that come programed in. That would be in the program settings and options. Hotmail has a sweep feature that if you get one email from a specific address you can tell it to send all future emails from them to a specific location including the junk mail folder. I don't know about aol. Of course the number one way that your email address gets on the spammers list is by being on forwarded emails, so always remove the names and addresses before forwarding and use the BCC feature to hide all email addresses on the email.
