Scratch "Wax Doll" and add "Executioner". I do agree about skipping the "Cold Turkey" cover. It's pretty mediocre. loveonya, susan p.s.- anyone remember the word "sphengew" (unsure of the spelling)? I know I learned it here and I remember that it means "to toss or throw a frog or toad". Could be my spelling is at fault, but I'm starting to think one of you sons of silly persons made it up, as I can't find it anywhere.

There are methods... and, when used in combination, they are somewhat effective. > I know capuchin eschews mailto tags on his site, i assume something is > done about the fegmaniax archives Oddly enough, I haven't received any spam in over a year... since I started hosting my own mail. I think you run a much higher risk of getting spam if you have an address with one of the huge ISPs... probably most spammers are doing automatic address generation on those or buying lists directly from the ISPs or harvesting from their user directories or something. I do several things... they all prevent spam at various levels. First, I have about six email addresses. They all send mail to the same address, ultimately. I then use procmail to sort my mail based on To: address and occassionally From: (for fegmaniax, etc.). I use one address for this list and certain correspondence, one for private stuff to family, etc... mostly this is for convenience to the people at the other end and to keep things sorted, not really anti-spam. But I do keep an address for using in public fora, like USENET. That address is ONLY for those fora and therefore "disposable". That is to say, if it gets harvested, I'll just use a different one. (One of the many advantages of being your own postmaster.) But this disposable address is also somewhat cleverly designed. First, it explicitly uses the word "spam". This works on a couple of levels. First, harvesting software oftentimes ignores addresses that match that pattern or remove that pattern from the matched address. The user portion of the address (the bit before the @) is elspammo. So if you remove the "spam" you get elmo, which almost seems reasonable. I capture mail from both, but into separate mailboxes. I also have an address called "fakeaccount". I use this on forms and things when I must input a mail address and they are going to actually USE that address (like mail me back a confirmation). That way, anything that shows up in the IN.fakeaccount file is completely expected... and if not, it can be deleted without a glance. Oh... NEVER EVER put your real email address into a form that requires one for download or something unless you're SURE they MUST mail you something in order to get what you want (like a password or a link to a page with some long passphrase in the URL). In those situations, I like to use root@127.0.0.1 Woj has noted that that is extremely cruel. Hee. postmaster@127.0.0.1 or abuse@127.0.0.1 might actually be better, though.

Reginald ("please don't call me Reg") Bretnor, going under his anagrammatical pseudonym of Grendel Briarton, did a whole host of these horrible one-page shaggy dog stories for one or two of the SF magazines (Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine and Amazing, IIRC) back in the 60s and 70s.

Tom: >For the record, no commercials on Sundance. I'll check again, but I'm >pretty damn sure there was no Gary Numan. Let's compare notes... Tom is correct - no Gary Numan! Also, NO SPLODGENESSABOUNDS! THIS IS THE ULTIMATE HERESY! I'm not sure why I thought I saw Gary's bit in the Sundance version. I must've gotten him mixed up with Lux Interior! I never *could* tell those two apart... Anyway, I could've sworn I had a copy of Urgh! recorded on an old Betamax tape, but if I do, it isn't properly labeled because I can't seem to find it now. Also, apparently my brain has transmuted from a mass of grey tissue into a large blob of Swiss cheese. But putting all that aside for the moment, like Tom said, Sundance isn't known for editing films... but it's even harder to believe that they'd cut Gary Numan out of the CBS Home Video version. So I suspect Derek Burbidge (the director) himself is behind this. He probably got REALLY pissed off at Numan recently -- perhaps he even bought one of his 90's albums -- and just cut him out of the movie completely! As for Splodgeness, well I'm sorry, but that's just unacceptable. Someone MUST PAY!

On Mon, 30 Apr 2001, steve wrote: > Perhaps someone can tell us if IMAP accounts are really less spam > prone? Absolutely not. I can't imagine why anyone would say that. IMAP is just one method by which one can connect one's mail client to one's mail server. As for me, my mail client reads the mail spool directly as it is run locally on the mail server. That's the way I've pretty much always done it, too. > One thing for Mac using Fegs, OS X Mail has a "bounce" feature - it > returns mail with a fatal error message. Don't know if it works, but > it sure is fun! Bounce simply bounces the message to another address without changing the From: headers (as a Forward or Reply would). You can bounce a message back to the sender with a message that looks like something a mail server would insert tagged to the top and perhaps you could fool someone into thinking the address wasn't valid. Never actually tried that, though. I don't mean to sound like an ig-NO-ramus, but is this really something that's lacking in the modern mail client, the bounce function? I've really only used two mail clients on anything like a regular basis for the past ten years. (I used to eschew the "mail client" program entirely and read my mail with more and write my mail by telnetting to port 25 of my smtp server and injecting the thing by hand... I'd like to say it's because I was a hardcore geek, but, in fact, I just didn't know there was a better way. But I must say, if everyone had to do mail that way, there'd be a whole lot fewer "me too" posts out there.) But really, doesn't every mail client have roughly the same features? You get a message and you can export, reply, bounce, forward, delete, or pipe to an external program, right? Then there's the basics of composition, address books, and roles. Do other mail clients have more exotic features of which I was previously unaware? I think the only thing I could imagine needing beyond that is custom header writing or free-form header manipulation, but I also couldn't imagine using that more than about once a year. So what do folks have that I'm missing? Have I been living in email's dark ages? What's changed since I last looked (admittedly about 1997)?

My own personal submission: my froshman year of college, a year after hearing Hitchcock for the first time, with youthful romantic notions raging full-bore along with their accompanying hormones, I'd lay awake in the dark (a commodity not in short supply in Minnesota in the winter) in my dorm room. My room was on the corner of Summit & Snelling avenues, both of which were fairly heavily trafficked, though it lightened up a bit as the evening wore on. And I would play Vegetation & Dimes on continuous repeat, and watch the shadows of headlights that came through my curtains dance across the walls and the ceiling. And I must say, the effect was perfect for the song.
