Under all that is a Hagen 202 powerhead :-P

I look at US sites and drool... soo much stock, so cheap! We Canucks
have been known to drive over the border to get a bag of Southdown!
:-( Ya'll have it made, cheap HW and lots of great livestock. On the
plus side of living here on the East coast I can and do use natural
seawater.

How do they get any food?

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

I am generous with the feeding and they pick up whatever floats their
way. Given the way they have spread out over the glass I know they are
not starving! :-

Hummm.... I just bought a chunk of rock with some brown ones on it. I've been
making sure they get enough to eat. Considering Billy's problems, maybe I
shouldn't feed them so much.

Great pictures! I notice your Copperband and Marine Beta. They don't bother
the polyps and corals? The LFS here says neither one of those fish are reef
safe.

I've got them hiding an ugly powerhead here and covering the back

I love them!

The Beta is a perfect tank mate to all the other fish and inverts. I
have him trained to eat from the end of a turkey baster. The CB took
out my feather dusters and aptastia. Other then that he is a great
fish (a real mooch, always looking for snacks!)

Yes :-).

But I've got at least one email address, still valid, which has been working
since about 1986 or so. Keeping spam away from my email doesn't seem feasible.
Meanwhile, all the "munging" solutions make it harder for ordinary people to
contact me.

So I've been forced to deal with spam on the receive side. Some combination of
the obvious stuff (a huge whitelist, built over years; Bayesian filtering,
SpamAssassin, etc.) does an excellent job of categorizing my incoming email,
and there is very little spam that I need to process manually.

But yes, it's a hard problem with no great solution.

Seperate public and private email by using different accounts/aliases. I
use a system of about 50 aliases for my 1 email account, one alias for each
type of service. Then when one alias gets overrun by spam, I simply remove
it from my list, and create a new one ... that way I've been 99% spam free
for over 2 years ...

I use a few custom made spam filters that look for patterns and word
structures in subjects and bodies, reducing the amount of spam that
actually gets through to a handful each month.

Personally I have a much bigger problem with virus and worms coming to my
email, forcing the antivirus to work overtime to keep them out.
