OT - possibly avoiding this BS in the future

Can anyone tell me where I have to go to disguise my email addy in this
newsgroup from the spam bots in the future in case this is where they got
it? I use OE & IE
Thanks - Gale :~)

I found it finally (2 hrs later) will try it here - any opinions on whether
this is enough?
God, I wish they would get serious with the "got no life" idiots who create
this @#$^% - If they don't do something to send them a message the internet
will soon become useless

its not bots, its that your in someones address
book that gets infected. almost all viruses target
IE and OE programs, I use Netscape for this reason!

making an entry in your address book like .000 will
make it the 1st entry and the viruses usually stop there.

like this
name .000
email

Alas, the Microsoft products are the problem. I use Eudora and Agent
and Mozilla, so no problems other than my trash filling up.

Thanks Ken - A 'puter whiz as well as a ponder whiz too, eh :~00000000000
Thanks again

Ditto though I use Opera instead of Mozilla.

Who is this "they" to whom you refer? :-)

Well you server will still get hit, though you won't see them. And the
mail server will then reply with an unknown user message, clogging up
things even more.

Either spoof the host name or, if something needs a valid host name
before it'll accept your posting, use or something similar.

John,

MS products are not the problems, it is the Jerkwad-low-lifes who find it
easier to destroy that to create. Eudora, Agent and Mozilla, and, to some
extent Netscape, are used by so few that it isn't worth their "precious"
time to try and bother these platforms.

I think after these last couple of stints viruses that a lot of people are
ready to enact the death penalty for this kind of tampering. Well, the
death penalty might be a little extreme, but that should be put in a 6X6
cell with nothing but a mattress and a very high window in the cell as the
only outside stimulus for at least 15 years, and screw rehabilitation, no
matter what their age.

I have been pretty diligent about viruses and emails and such to the point I
have never had a need for antivirus software, but was hit this last Thursday
by a message that looked exactly like the messages that I usually get from
Microsoft about updates and warnings. For over 6 years I have never
succumbed to a virus until last Thursday. Hopefully, it is cleaned up. My
biggest problem was finding antivirus software that will work with
Windows95.

Golly what a mess. Sorry to all, if my problem was part of the whole
problem.

Hi Gale,

I'm new to this group as I only dug my pond about 5 weeks ago, I'll
post some pictures when I get the time. My pond is about 10'x12' and
about 3' deep, it's fed by a waterfall and 35' stream. I've added some
plants and 7 golden rudd (from my brothers pond) and then 6 green
tench about a week later. Since I added the green tench I've only been
able to see 6 of the golden rudd! It only took a heron 4 weeks to find
the pond. It's basically a wild life pond and we've also been visited
by a fox and got the normal insect and bird life.

I've had the normal problems with green water, but it's not been that
bad and it cleared fairly quickly to crystal clear. Then I had to do
some more work which stirred the muck up that turned the water green,
but it's slowly clearing .

That the introduction over with regard to your original post you might
