""All you people are free-marketers then?
How do you feel about US subsidies to US business and farms running to the tune of $150billion a year then? Screwing Brazil over with regard to cotton, and West Africa too. That is not ''free market'' stuff.""
I agree, I wish my goverment did not do that, for free market reasons, not because it hurts Brazil or Africa.

Well I wimped out and had a coupla "D" answers. Can't recall 'zackly which they were, right now.
mutha sumbich - I knew I shouldn't have fallen for that "we won't spam you" BS. No, they won't but they'll sell to plenty of people who will. Notice the email addy wasn't needed at all. I can't believe I actually voluntarily gave them the addy - doh! That is nothing more than a scam to harvest email addys to sell them, and we played right into their hands - don't do it!

Futo Inu,
here is something I learned.
I use the address of the empty field accross the street where someone lived in another town...10 yrs ago.
I use an alias, with an alias addy on a web based acct I set up from a school computer...it gets mail once every 3 weeks to stay active...in the event the spam doesn't do so...oh a few of us this email alias and addy for the same reason...never from home pc tho. We just set up a new acct from time to time just for this purpose, online polls and such.
I hate to shop , but went with classmate to a chain store where she bought a computer..."we don't sell info" the sales reciept said. I had her use an apt # --she owns a house--sure enough slew of junk mail came to her house with that apt #, she then recieved some resitution. Real easy to prove.
Use a different Apt # for different things /stores if you own a home, rent a house, whatever. Real easy to see whom is sellling info, then check with local statutes.
I think that company is paranoid about apt #'s now Her attorney thought-wow- what a great idea and he now does it. You see the mistake made was a debit /credit card info was traced back to them --a big no no selling this info, bigger no no if false charges are put onto acct later. You just gotta outta think them.
I was NW of Ayn Rand, getting pretty close to "feet wet".

LOL.
I have an account on keepandbeararms.com that I don't have to worry about keeping alive because I get spammed by. . . . . the Devilcratic National Committee.
What's curious is that I've only mentioned the address once, in a small-ish libertarian/anarchist leaning mailing list. Wondering how _they_ (the devilcrats) got it.

Thanks re1973- NOW you tell me.... Look, guys and gals - this IS an email harvester scam. I've gotten 3 "enlarge your penis" spams since I did this, and had gotten NO such spams since I changed email addys. Not all of us are as streetwise as those who already always used alias/made-up emails, so I'm once again warning the relative newbs not to do it, or actually, better yet, PLEASE, EVERYONE do this:
Please go there, and enter a completely made up email addy at **.FU or whatever, and also list your 10 friends with similar addys. Thank you for your help.

I'm still learning, wish I could find a forum like THR for info like I gave you. I learned the hard way. I'm learning as I go along and take classes.
We retired the acct "D.A. Tsun" about a year ago, just add _ and a number and use it on a web based email acct. Way I figure it "Mr. Tsun" has all the Viagra and enhancements he'll need for awhile.
Humm, I wonder if this behavior is indicative of persons like me whom scored in the far corner of NW...
