but how many here got an email from Rita before "she" started posting on here? found mine in my SPAM folder, dated a couple of days before that fact.
Eeeeeeek, logical fail!
Not necessarily one and the same person oh silly seppo.
Must go grep my own spam bucket for her name.
EDIT: I got one, it's a form email, I have about 75000 of them in the archive (and that's just the ones that the filter didnae get). It's purpose is to validate your email address, which makes it more valuable as a spam target. Unusually all the links in it appear to be what they state, normally they'd be spoofed to lead you to some site punting/sneaking malware or to a scareware scan (which about 75% of NOOLers would fall for, hook, line, sinker, float, reel, rod and tackle bag.).
Ironically, I think the only thing holding the spamwave at bay is the fact that most people run windows. If everyone ran Linux, and in the unlikely event that it could be made as fucked as windows, the net would buckle because both sendmail and procmail can spew mails about 150 times faster than either Outhouse, Outhouse Excuse, or even Sexchange.
Windows is a water pistol protected by a sign saying "please do not do anything naughty, because it's naughty".
Linux may have razor wire and machine gun nests, but that's because they're guarding an ICBM silo.
PS: I spose it could also be Boaty???
PPS: what bit of "specify" do you not grasp fucktard.
