"When you must have a degree, are required to be state licensed, accept payment, are validated by the health insurance community, and most of all can remedy my back and neck concerns you are without question a professional. " Always happy to have a discussion. Conventional medicine practiced by physicians is science applied with art. The key word is science, that's why the NIH and med schools spend billions each year for research to understand and treat diseases and conditions. Chiropractic practices fail scientific scrutiny, and no research is done. Reach your own conclusion. Benefits are explained by the placebo effect - which is can be real. It's otherwise hocus-pocus, quackery, use whatever words you like . Schools - while most people that apply to med schools aren't accepted, almost all people going to chiropractic schools are. It's about as hard to get in to them as the trade schools that teach auto mechanics. Insurance companies are happy to cover chiropractors because the charges are lower than from physicians. The danger with chiropractors is when they try to treat conditions they don't understand and make the patient think it's unnecessary to see a physician. Most stay away from that because they realize that a backrub does nothing for diabetes, for instance. Backs don't have alignment, and can't be adjusted. If it helps your pain and you feel better, so be it. A native American shaman has about as much to offer you (or more) in medical treatment than a chiropractor.

I received a similar email yesterday that might be easier to fall for. It was purportedly from the technical support team & webmail account admin, It stated that my in box was full and to be reactivated I was to send info such as my log in info and password. This looked like it could be real except it didn't mention my name, had at least one misspelled word, legitimate businesses don't ask for that info in an email, and I am still getting mail. While I have gotten several of the Nigerian type, this is the first time I have received a phishing email of this type. BEWARE!

No software, no protocol and no activity is 100% effective. Helpful, but not absolute. And yes, address generators and miners are a spammer's best friend. However, focusing on the word "best" the adage is still absolutely true. Unfortunately users are still their own worst enemy, particularly newbies and the those with limited experience. Through their zealousness to enjoy, and learn on the Internet they register on sites without proper research. They use forwards. They CC. They publish their e-mail address in plain view. They fill in the line on product registration cards. They register on-line for newsletters and free product coupons. And, all this are just examples. We as users sit at home and pay our ISP money for the privilege to connect to the Internet. Site commerce is what drives the Internet. Even legitimate spam though annoying is perhaps useful. It is quite similar to the bulk mail we all get in our mailbox at home. A user's biggest concern is the malicious, false or unwanted, by subject, spam. My personal remedy has been being security minded with my addresses, and multiple e-mail addresses for dedicated use. DA

Besides that I got a announcement from my bank stating that they had upgraded the privacy notice. I did not like something I saw, so called the bank. Yep, it was phis hing and he had me forward it to the bank and suggested I change my name and password. It was in my regular email, not spam. Something else came in, and I deleted that also. Just have to be careful
