One could use it for running commentary (hopefully better than "Fire! Fire! Huh-huh! Cool!"). ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 10:00:17 -0600 From: CollectedSounds Subject: Re: Anyone know anything about Wpoison? There are also other ways to "hide" your email address on a web page. Instead of just posting your email address on your page, you create a form. The form runs a script that has your email address in it. That way your email address never appears on the page (proper) it's in your script. However, I don't know if crawlers can check scripts or not. I just know that since I removed my email address from my site I get less spam. I have had some spammers get to my script somehow but I can tell (by the subject line) which ones these are and I can delete them pretty easily. If anyone is interested I can post the script and instructions or do it off list.

(Of course, it should be "kiss the sky") This is such a common mishearing that the website http://www.kissthisguy.com/ is dedicated to misheard lyrics.

Any thoughts? >Vickie Actually having the subtitles is really useful for ESL and EFL teachers. The students have a hard time hearing the words in the song so we have to provide a songsheet. Having the video with subtitles helps because it focuses them directly on the video so they make connections between the sounds and the words. I for one would really appreciate it if you would do this and I promise to introduce Happy's music to some of my students in Korea. I was waiting til my cd order came in but this makes everything so much easier. Then the kids who like her music can search for more of it. Thanks for everything that you do Vickie. I listen to your hour long podcasts, I bought Happy's cds because you posted samples of her music for me to get addicted to, and you just keep doing more work. Thanks Pat Tired of spam? Yahoo!
