>Jorge says he can't access the web. Oh, well, that's different then. ;-)
I know all about "contextual usage's" of words Sue. I was not referring to "mine" and "mind" (nor others perhaps like "their", "they're" or "there"). I was referring to things like: keeep, interchenged, don4t, doesn4t, agressions, can4t, doughter, etc. Yes, we all know what he meant and I fully comprehended it or else I would not have been able to reply. ;-) Yes, his structure was better than most English people. The point is, like Lisa, I was trying to HELP him. I've been sending hundreds of emails per day for many years and posting at dozens of forums for many years, and I have seen many times how sometimes simple typos like "teh", "sicne", "becuase" and the like due to usually just trying to type too fast, can be erroneously misinterpreted as either a lack of intelligence, laziness, or some other negative trait. My suggestion of a spell checker/typo checker for him was in efforts for him to AVOID that categorization. For you Jorge, since you can't get online, here's a synopsis of my conversation with Lisa supporting my comments therein: -------------- I thought I answered your comment in my original post, but here it is again: "I DO NOT reply to these because these places blackmail/extort you into using them. Once they get your email address, they will then start sending YOU various BS (that's Spam)." Optonline.net is one of the worse USA ISP's as far as Spam goes. 2nd or 3rd maybe to Comcast, Cogencto and maybe Verizon. More UCE comes FROM these ISP's than any other. I have been forced to block more of the latter 3's IP addresses with my email filters than any other in the USA, that's how bad it is. I would tell your ISP you need a new email address from them, and if you were careful about your original address, TELL THEM this; it's been believed that these aforementioned ISP's actually SELL their members' email addresses to nefarious places. Isn't there a way you can add this list's email address to some whitelist? ---------------- Because I'm very busy with hundreds of emails per day and customers, I can only recall right off hand most of the most frequent postees at this list. After some thought, yes, I remember you now. ;-) No one is saying that you are trying to Spam someone on purpose Lisa. But for all of those that continuously receive this "challenge systems", it can be considered a form of Spam to the recipient. The suggestions I previously gave you is a starting point (about your ISP). If you don't have a website, you can get one and get it hosted for really cheap. A domain name (plus hosting by with whomever you register it) for about $1.99, but the hosting may be a bit more. A domain name for about $6.95-$8.95, then really GOOD hosting for about $4.95 a month (get one that uses the cPanel hosting software). The purpose of that would be your domain would have as many email addresses as you wanted, yours to delete and create at will, and FILTERED by cPanel's "Email filters" to which you can create up to 999 email filters blocking anything you chose in the header, subject, or message body. I am unfamiliar with how your current Spam system works. There may be a way to add to some whitelist, any emails with this list's email address in the header. Like the list's emails show in the header "reply to: [list's email address]", so see if you could possibly add that to a whitelist. It's possible that won't work and you'd have to add all the list members' addresses which would be a pain. For more info on that, you'd have to contact them, or someone else that uses the same system. I never suggested the sender of these emails (you) to be removed from the list. My exact words, at the bottom of my post, were: "If anyone knows her, please tell her to do something about it. Thanks," See? ;-) ------------------------ I haven't personally seen anymore of the emails. It's not a pain. ;-) If you need any help on domain names and a site, just ask. ------------------- As I pointed out, at least from ME; no aggression, no rudeness, no attacks, nothing of the sort. Only help. I'm growing tiresome of this entire subject and subsequent spawned subjects.

I have several correspondents who do not have web access...mostly in Africa. Jorge's English is a whole lot better than my Spanish (or whatever his native language is)! His spelling is a lot better than many people I know online who live here in the US! Spell checkers do not check syntax. Nor do they pick up words like "mine" for "mind". We all got the idea of his post, and he has more courage than I would at posting on a list in a language I did not speak. Good job, Jorge, and don't be afraid to post here.
