    Default Defeating webcrawlers

    Ladies & Gents,

    There is a simple way of getting around webcrawlers that grab your email address: Instead of using the "@" sign, post your address as "dingleberry22 AT flunkymail.com". A human will understand it.

    Linda,

    My experience is a lot like yours. AOL puts questionable e-mails in a separate spam folder, but a very few actually get through to my regular mail box. Not a real issue at all, and like you, my E-mail address is all over the place. Of course, so is everybody else's.

    Although my pseudonym is rarely used for heated retort, it has been used to make unpopular points.

    On the AC, there is usually little need to use anything other than your real name. Other than the occasional stumble-butt that thinks the AC is a "spoon feeding" forum, much of the conversation is either preservation or researched based.

    On the OTB, everyone pretty much knows who the trolls are and, since there are no rules, they do not last long.


    When this forum requires my name, I will decide then whether to conform.

    Default Speaking of spoons with long handles

    Huck,

    You don't happen to have a copy of that hand holding graphic, do you? It is the one that features two hands being held together with the caption "I had my hand held on the Authentic Campaigner Forum." After I quite laughing I realized there may be a fairly good sized grain of truth in that.

    ...you end up with Outpost 2007, which featured one handed mounted cav carbine firing whilst on the move...a CSA cav charge against an inf company that resulted in some captured feds (and we didn't even get to eat the presumably shredded horses)...company's manuevering as seperate battalions...a waste of ammo powder burning night fight. - RJ
