Gee, I get home tonight and I can’t get on line,I let my wife handle it, she is so much better with beaurocracy. Today someone highjacked my account and password and sent out advertizing for a website that I think offended some people. One of the folks that was kind enough to reply back, had a screen name of LordsServant and they wanted me to take them off the list. Any of you get anything involving eggbeaters and farm animals riding ferris wheels?

Logged on and was notified that his account had been suspended due to the fact that mass porn adverstisements were being sent from his address. He had to change his password.
For what it’s worth – I never recommend AOL to people. Too much proprietary junk installed on your computer that is TOTALLY irrelevant to the user experience. For big name providers I highly recommend Earthlink.
Recently, I opened a letter that appeared to be from an acquaintance to discover I had been spammed by another source. I thought it was merely a bad joke. Later I discovered that hidden in the spam was a message to another computer. The other computer was that of a serving company. In any case, buy a virus scanner and use it - scan everything going out and arriving. On the up side, I did learn a lot about hacking, although I would have preferred to have been on the water.Patrick
