What fresh hell is this?
My junk e-mail account today has mail from match.com welcoming me. Further mail thanking me for the photo. Further mail from guys winking at me.
I sent everything to my spam folder.
I'd laugh if laughing didn't make me cough.

Oh, I get really weird stuff too. The "Crush Alerts" crack me up.... What guy is going to notice a slightly overweight 50 year old woman with a pair of kids.

Ah, well, the wonders of the internet. About 5-6 years ago some "former" ref - who was removed from reffing due to some emotional problems - had an issue with DH during a Tier 1 game (that he shouldn't have been doing anyhow) -just little kids - like Squirts or PeeWees. Anyhow, the incident with DH was minor - though this guy went nuts about it (DH slapped a puck hard into his hand at a hand-off, after telling him to "just do YOUR job" after problems happening by him making wrong calls, etc. Said nut left the ice, and went to grab some parents saying that his hand was broken, then threatening to call the police, then came back to finish the game. Can you say unbalanced?) So, suddenly DH calls me and says - "google yourself" - guess what. Apparently, under my maiden name I've been posting truly horrible, vituperative, things on Usenet to of all lists - a Beatles forum, a Disney forum & a hockey forum. Really horrid things - not at all in my style (tee hee). So, as we knew this idiot belonged to said groups, and by checking full-headers - we were able to pretty much sort out that it was him using my name. What made this so odd - I'd never done anything to him - but I guess he didn't like me being on the ref association board (ah, back in the younger, fit days). Had to file complaints with his ISP, with the Usenet police, with the DoJ (one of the officers in our ref asso. - who handled behavior stuff - is a DoJ guy). Lots of fun. It was shocking. Though not nearly as much fun as someone winking.....

Going back on looking at the spam folder, I see this is all U.K. guys. Stranger still.
