Servus!

B> << Hey! What's that? Some alien code?? <frowning and fingering flamer>
B> Actually it's a location. I *think* (g)
Yes, it is. Admit it: Do you know where "Weissenhorn" is? Can you even tell
wether it's in Germany, Austria or Swizerland? See, that's why I included
coordinates. This way you can home right in on me... ;-)

B> I think the move to egroups was a plus after all.
Well, to be frank, not to me: I've grown to be quite careful where I state
my email adress nowadays. For sites I can't really trust (and egroups is
definitly one of them - they are not in the business for the fun of it but
to make hard cash) I have a special adress with gmx that can be filtered
easily, should spam ever be sent there. There's a slight hitch, though: I
can't (not that easily, anyway) answer via that adress.

So I first registered this adress with egroups, realizing that I could only
read messages to the list, not write some myself. When after some time (a
matter of hours, to be honest... ;-) ) I recognized that being a silent
reader just wouldn't do it for me, I changed the adress. It's surely worth
the "risk", but still I'm not really comfortable with it.

If the listserver was a privatly owned machine, there would not be this
dilemma.

B> Welcome, everyone!
Thanks!

B> Just so you know, Straker is mine. ;-)
Not a problem with me. He's not really my type - I'd rather consider having
dinner with Ellis... ;-)
