Sorry Barb, but until you fill out my seven page security
questionnaire, in triplicate, from a non-Microsoft platform,
notarized!, I do not feel comfortable submitting personal information
to a unknown internet webpage.

See you in the funny papers! ;)

Hmmm. What personal information? Dang.

This would be easy if I knew what unknown internet webpage I must have
referenced. I don't have a copy of the mail, either, because I sent it
from my newsreader. Huh!

I was going to post the link I received to let you see it, but then decided
against it. It might compromise your email security program if other
everyone else saw it, too.

I understand what your doing, Barb, email security and all that. A
wise step, no doubt. But, the onus should not be on me. It's your
email security program/service. You have my email address and email
headers. You should be able to configure the program/service you've
chosen to get me authorized without any further input from me.
Apparently, this email security program/service is not even telling you what
it is doing. Not an encouraging sign. :|

Earthlink does that. Most subscribers don't even realize how annoying it
is to others. When You send an Earthlinker an email for the first time,
you get sent to a web site and you have to kind of prove that you aren't
a spammer. Real PITA

I won't do it. I can imagine a case where I'd make an exception (if I
needed to send the email for work reasons, for instance), but for social
contact between friends? Nope, not going to go through the internet
equivalent of a metal detector first.

OH! ...So Barb is not even aware her MSA/ISP[1] is doing this? That's
really slimey. Just another case of foreign entities exerting control
over your computer.

I find it rather unsettling, not to mention insulting, that it's
illegal for you or I to break into and take control of another
person's computer, but it's perfectly legal, and quite common, for
software and hardware companies to do exactly that. And you hafta
agree to an EULA allowing it to occur in order to use their products.
Outrageous! And ppl wonder why I constantly harp on the advantages of
Linux.

You computer's security is your own responsibility and ppl better
start owning up. Otherwise, others will happily relieve you of
that control.

That's pretty much how I feel about it, but was unsure how to express
it. I certainly don't want to offend Barb, who I do consider a dear
friend. I think you've summed it up nicely, Serene. Thank you.


Barb, darlin', I'd say you need to have a friendly lil' chat with your
ISP. ;)

I did it for Barb. I thought she was worth it. I've only done it for

I get a report of "suspect mail." I scan it for anything that should
not be there, for mail I am interested in receiving. If it happens
before the Earthlink auto response (to mail from a source not on my
whitelist) is replied to, I'll have a look at the message and decide if
I want the source permanently whitelisted or want only that message in
my inbox. Then that happens.

No, notbob, I am aware and always have been; I set the level of
filtration. My question to you was because I didn't understand to what
you were referring. Now I do.

I have several addresses, Serene. The one I use here has the tightest
filtering applied. If I am soliciting private email here, I usually
include a statement like, "To bypass Earthlink's filters, put a dot
between my names." When that is done, the message comes right to my
inbox without any screening other than what Earthlink does to identify
"known spam." It is possible that that is what you did, it is
possible that I anticipated a response and whitelisted you before you
had a chance to respond, and it is possible that we corresponded using a
different address than the one I use here.
-Barb, who's not so sure about that gem stuff, and thanks you for the
generous words.

Nah, we understand each other just fine. As I've said about four other
times in this thread, I did not understand what you were talking about
the first time you referenced it ? my brain is turning to Cream of Wheat
and I've had a pressing family issue at the front of it for the last
couple weeks. No problem, notbob. No hay problema.

First time I read that, I thought it said, "I set the level of flirtation."

(Which is probably true enough, come to think of it...)
