Thread: I just got response from 2008 - HUHH!!!

Tweet

I just received some 2008, mostly Sept - Oct, responses, eight or ten, for threads I'm apparently subscribed to, but really don't recall. They must have been in a "burp zone" in the servers.

Probably Bill spilled some of his coffee back then

Dam' I love computers.

While surfing the moderator tools I ran across a neat one that shows all the posts that are awaiting approvals in all threads. Since I'm speeding through the day on a wave of caffeine, I thought it was high time to clean things up. Since no dates show in the thread/post approval tools, I'll have to be a little move careful of what I approve and what I throw away.......

OK - sounds reasonable - I'll just delete the next 8-10 that just rolled in

OH - I understand that caffeine stuff. I need a refill about now

8-10, try 400-500 and these are just the ones I'm approving, you guys still rarely see the get rich quick, or "I found this great site on the web", or click here for an excellent deal on xxx" posts..........

I can well believe it...Rather you than me,,,

There should be a logical way for the internet Gods to control the spam.....every so often, someone suggests charging a small fee for each email....maybe a tenth of a cent. This would be undesirable for two reasons...first, it would penalize large businesses that really do receive a lot of email and second, it would be a regulatory step that the government would use to get their dirty little fingers into the system and screw it up. I propose that a different restriction be applied.....a limit on the number of recipients on an email header.......IF there was a (say 50) limit on the people in the "SEND TO" list, a person that has one of those DVDs with 5 million email addresses and wants to blanket send his Viagra substitiute advertisement would have to send 5million divided by 50 per = 100,000 emails to get his trash sent. Heck, even for big companies, make the limit 20....blanket emails are mostly junk anyway.

I got 65 emails today from 2008-2009. Didn't even remember most of them
