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

Hi.

I see that Wolfie has asked you to email him on one of threads. Well, I'm not sure if you know this, but Wolfie sends spam emails to people about sites he's a member of about twice a week. He wont tell you this, so I thought that I had better warn you, just so that you know.

I hadn't noticed that from Wolfie, I'll go look see what I'm missing. It's ok anyway, I don't give my email out, or email people unless I feel I know them very well.

I think Wolfie is mostly harmless, he's started some pretty good games threads, and some, how shall I say, less interesting conversation threads.

I was fairly anti-wolfie for a time, although he's certainly getting better. I first heard about the emails he sends when someone else told me about them. They're basicly a list of his contact details along with a long list of links to sites that he wants you to join. He sends it to about a dozen people twice a week. It doesn't break the rules in any way, but I've talked to a some of the people who he sends them to and they've gotten pretty fed up by them.

So now I check the messages left on his space every few days and if he has asked people to email him I try to warn them like this just so that they know.

IMO there's always a risk in giving strangers your email address, don't most email accounts have a block option, so if someone's emails are annoying you can block them.

What kind of web sites are they, are they just animal related web sites?

The email is something like this. I've deleted his personal info:

Ok, thanks. I can see that would be annoying, but at least there's nothing offensive there.

Yes, at least he's not trying to sell drugs over the internet, or offering ways to lengthen a certain appendage of the male body.
