Re: Spam discussion

I have thought of that and use 1 email with my name for personal contact
with individual people and another modified version for lists
But I also use hotmail for egroup lists as well and I find if you post at
sites like Ampage with a Hotmail address you are seen as lacking 
credibility
especially if its a hot topic and experienced long time users dislike 
people
who use fake / bullshit names and hotmail/ yahoo email adresses
I dont like people calling themselves Leo Fender or Jimmy Page either.
I can understand their point of view when idiots make a nuisance of
themselves.
Thanks for your comments.
Steven
