Sorry, I guess this is a bit off-topic. That's me tending to
use lugnet.general as the all-purpose place for any general
chats with people I know from lugnet that don't fit in anywhere
else. And as Larry and you have pointed out - there doesn't
seem to be anywhere better for this thread.

Perhaps we need a lugnet.off-topic.chat for threads that
are serious, not Lego related, and not debate-oriented :)

And it might not be new to you (or it appears, to Larry), but it
was a novelty to me. I generally get a spam mail every week or so
- which I guess means I have it better than a lot of people -
but this is the first time I had anything inviting me to send spam.

It appears that for the modest sum of $750 I can have half a million
email addresses bombarded.

Hrmmm.... this is nothing new.  And ... not really related to Lego,
right?

I'd change the follow-ups but there is no
lugnet.off-topic.wasteoftimejunk yet.  :)
