If anyone receives a Zip file from me, don't open it. Discard it. It isn't from me. It could contain a virus. For the past several months I have been the target of some group of idiots' hate crusade. I know who it is and it doesn't mean anything to me. I just smile and delete. Very small minds at work there. However, today Lowell was a recepient as was Johneflat. I'm sure some of you will more than likely get some of the same. Just delete it. these people aren't worth the trouble to bother with and they certainly don't want to deal with me openly. Just a bunch of run of the mill Chuckleheads. | ||

Thanks for the warning Ralph. Are they still at it after all of this time? Don't they realize that there are ways to trace them? It's idiots like them who will have the Feds controlling the internet. Why don't they just make their own website so they can continue to promote the people who are most important to them...THEMSELVES!!! They trashed this site & talked about how it was "garbage", only after their invitation was taken away. Yet, they continued to lurk & observe what is said here & fire off stupid ass, immature private e-mails about it. They're like spoiled kindergarten brats, who weren't invited to a Barney Birthday party at Chuckee Cheese. If this place sucks so much, why do they waste so much of their precious & important time monitoring the goings on? Even when they were here, what they did best was to kiss each others ass, run from thread to thread trying to start fights with those whom disagree with them & whine when people fired back. As my last statement applies to a few of our former "friends", if any of them are offended & feel that I'm calling them out, it's only a case of "hit dog holler". As a wise man in training (Juice)says: "If the shoe fits, you can't say shit". And from my seat on the forum, that's exactly what they have a mouth full of. You can forward their subsequent e-mail to me if they have a problem with what I'm saying & I'll deal with it correspondingly. And I don't send virus laden zip files like a punk-ass coward either. The sad thing is that they consider themselves to be of high morals, class & good breeding. Then again, so did The Pharisees  Hey Ralph, never let it be said that we have no class here! Let me inject a classic quote, from one of our literary masters! Oh yes, thanks to my N.Y.C. public school education (circa 1966-1978), Juice can be most literal, literate & literary. Let me close with a great quotation that purveyors of all things classy should appreciate. "I think they doth protest too much" - Rapmaster William B. Shakespeare that is... used to write.... dressed in tights (Message edited by juicefree20 on October 01, 2004) (Message edited by juicefree20 on October 01, 2004) (Message edited by juicefree20 on October 01, 2004) | ||

Only except this time I'm been getting these pop up sceens and unwanted advertising ads and spywares, that blocks and unable me from getting to emails. Nor can I send nor recieve emails. Ralph & Juice, I hear you loud and clear! | ||

Don, The most common malicious piece of email attachment is usually about 30k in size.... if you receive email with a 30k attachment, DELETE IT... unless you asked someone to send you a 30k attachment. You need 3 pieces of software, 1. A virus scanner. 2. A pop up blocker 3. A spam blocker If now one else does, I'll post a few sites where you can get these tomorrow afternoon and which also explain the roles of each. | ||

I also have had emails sent to me that are very vicious. Also my email has been intercepted and somebody has sent out emails to my friends and family on behalf of me or my kids to say I had died, passed away. I have had money taken from my bank account and things purchased on the internet with my credit card. It has also been posted on the forums that I had passed away. It has cause no end of stress and upset to everybody. It has even caused a friend not to speak to me anymore because he thinks I am playing games. I do not email anymore. There is a piece of softeware that you can buy and it changes your IP and ISP or hides it and you can be from any country in the world, and change your IP. I have my case under investigation at the moment for fraud. | ||
