Woooweeee! Tasty like butter!

There are many of these on the Team page. Have they all been 'screened' for acceptability and trust?

Those are the ones that got in under the wire.

Many of my friends have to use yahoo etc as a personal address which is very 'real' due to privacy and disciplinary problems at work.

Then give that as a reason and you will be gladly invited in/on.

I've stated before that my internet knowledge is poor, so where should one go for an acceptable 'real' e-mail address if yahoo et al are not good enough? At least Richard Xxxxxxx is using his name in the address rather than a nickname or number.

If you can use blogger, your internet knowledge is very good. Believe me. Your ISP normally provides you with at least one free email address, and many megs of storage for your messages. If they dont, they are cheating you. And is Richard Richard Xxxxxxx his real name? Was his "surname" Asshole? It was X'd out, so you can only guess!!

I've not been on this list long, but have found it very stimulating. However, I'm not particularly impressed by the treatment of Mr R X. He may very well have good reason for not using his work address, and trust and 'need' work both ways. Sorry if this offends anyone.

In order to keep it stimulating/fresh/cool, we are blocking out anyone with a throw away or LaMeR email address. Period. They cause trouble, contribute nothing, dont read their throwaway address email, and add friction to the meme stream. If anyone has a good reason to have a throwaway account, they should give it. It happens quite often, and we manually sign them up. The instructions are clear when access is denied. People who cannot read and learn are of no use to us, and so must be denied.

And of course, there is no good reason for ANYONE to have an aol account.

We need people who can write, who can learn, who will post and who can laugh. And as for anyone being offended, they can fuck off, because you, Alun Kirby, post here, you post hard, you post often, and that means you are more important than them. They have to either shit or get off the pot or get flushed.

BTW I did a bit of "technical support" for an AOLER last week; my word, AOL7 is an abomination like no other Its a complete frankenstinian monstrosity, and not only that, because AOL does not use standard internet protocols for its email (no pop 3/smtp), you cannot use AOL as your ISP and use another email client to read/send your mail. Also, AOL cannot (according to three service reps, one senior) forward all your mail to another email address. There are third party services that do this for you, but you have to pay for this. AOLers are literally locked into a proprietary and degrading system that cripples their experience of the internet, and locks them in to an incompatible, feature poor system. They DELIBERATLY make it difficult to leave AOL, by not offering mail forwarding and acces via other email clients.

The Horror...The Horror.
