Good idea. Maybe also leave of the dot. Everybody can figure out that a dot goes there.

I would also suggest a "/" instead of the "@" since that is one of the keys that the spammers search on besides the ".com" or ".net". The scanning programs are not too smart and they are looking for easy addresses, although they are beginning to catch on to some of the things that people do such as "[at]" and "[dot]".

I just now sent myself a test message thru mypage, and I received it.

GW mail is inconsistent at best. Also did some testing last week with others. 1 in 4 are received. Richard is right and has the best idea leave out the "@" and the "."

Great idea Whitecat!
Now I have to figure out how the my page works.

Clara

Yeah, but what if I don't want to talk to any of you? ;~)

Anyway, I dumped most of the info from my member page over to my Flickr account.
I almost always have it open and reload frequently.
There were too many places to have to update constantly.
I hardly check my email!
Of course when I don't, I always get something interesting.
Since I upgraded my Yahoo account, I should see if I can get another address as well.

Scott

Scott, Don't worry. You don't have to talk to anyone you don't want to, but someone might want to let you know where to get stilettos in your size - you never know - for that orchid discipline thing.

My Yahoo account address is on my member page. Hopefully, it's spam software-proof.

Well if I can find those, it's going to have to be sexy talk only! ;~)
You gotta make things multi-functional!
I'm sure they aren't cheap!
I mean inexpensive!
I know they're cheap! ;~)

(I'm in a weird mood this decade!)

Black Croc. or vinyl... the key to "cheap " is all in the attitude ;-))

Clara
PS I knew you had a secret trick to those mades and bulbos.... I'm buying a whip and mouting on handcuffs!

Attitude?
Hmm!
I don't know!
It's late and I'm not sure if I'm up to workin' it! ;~)

In that case, it'll have to be the Black Croc!
Vinyl makes me sweat like a Penguin with happy feet!

Cheap?
I can do cheap!
Uhhh...wait!
That didn't come out right! ;~)

Scott

Scott,

It's okay. You have to have taste to pull off cheap. Get vinyl sling backs w/ open toes, and you're there.

WC8

I dunno...
Would I have to cut my toenails?
Although, I did just shave my legs! ;~)

Well???
So...where do I park my trailer??

Move over Britney!
You cow!
There ain't room for my pink flamingo collection!
(The orchids like 'em!)

Scott

How badly has this thread been hijacked?

Wresting the thread back from the edge - This has been an example of the fun exchanges that could go on privately, if we had a way to contact each other.

Scott and Clara, thanks for the silliness. Sometimes it's the perfect touch.

WC8

Why doesn't everyone just post their private messages on this forum? I'm sure no one will read them if you mark them PRIVATE.

Isn't that like givin' a kid a gift in July and tellin' them not to open 'till X-mas?
