h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Question:

How many people here have seen Adaptation? Did you like it or not? Had you read The Orchid Theif?

And have any of you read the more expensive, typo free version, The Orchid Thief?

Lil, I wouldn't put anything past Wal-Mart. I think they sell your perscription information to drug companies.

If my recollection of privacy laws concerning pharmacies is correct, you could win a fairly enourmous lawsuit if you could prove that they were doing that. When I worked for one the training concerning privacy law was larger than any other topic.

I get Coral Calcium spam all the time and I've never been near a Wallmart in my life. Spam levels are getting worse. My main ISP has a filter but my backup ISP hasn't and that address is now collecting 50 spam hits per day which I funnel into a separate folder on arrival.

My main email address gets no spam at all, not bad for 7 years. Needless to say the hotmail one gets loads but the yahoo one is a lot better.

A bright and breezy welcome back to Munchkin too. Did you see BB's link to the latest Dr Who netcast? Even better than the last one.

Off to my bed to read Carol Drinkwater's 'Olive Season', the second part of her life in France.

My hotmail address gets <20 a week. My yahoo addy gets in excess of 100. My work acct gets 2 every three years.

My hotmail addy was created in 96 my yahoo in 99 and my work in 2000.

You know my answers, Sporky.

On average I get 4 or 5 spam day on my yahoo account
I get very few in my main account
Unfortunatly my main ISP isn't so lucky, their servers can't stand the current onslaught. I gather from the support groups they have been getting upto 5 times as much incoming mail as normal and over 80% is spam.

Glad Munchkin and Toc are nearly settled.

I have never gotten spam for coral calcium. That's about the only one I haven't gotten.

I think I'm going to have to retire my current sprynet address after 11 years. They claim to have a spaminator, but it is evidently overflowing.

It was an ominous coincidence, then, about the Coral calcium.

My book marks at home spontaneously disappeared.

I was going to ask how that could happen, but have changed my mind.

I wish I knew why it happened... This is the only chink in the armour of Phoenix. The bookmarks have been buggy for me.
