Quick if you can! There's a gross disgusting horrible post pretending to be from Kate XXXXXX on rctq just now that nobody should ever open. Defies gagging a maggot. My email address sits at rctq unprotected or I would post a message to the others NOT to open that post. Can you do it? Nothing I've ever tried works to list my return email so I won't get a hit from this evil idiot.
This is one reason why I dislike those URL shortcuts (tinyurl, etc.) -- it's usually impossible to tell that it's a link to something other than what it purports to be. :S
this made me think, Sandy. if someone can make a tiny url, why not be able to reverse it. so i googled and found this page where you can put in the link and it will show you the real url.

That's very handy, Jeanne, but I think it's a lot easier just to ignore those URL shortcuts from now on.
For me the useful thing that came out of this was somebody's phrase for it, "enough to gag a maggot". I'll be using that myself someday.

'Tiz a good 'un. isn't it!
I much appreciate all the warnings an stuff you folk have done over this. I'm somewhat less than my usual sparky best, after a week in school (enjoyable but exhausting! Dunno how I ever used to manage full time teaching!), and tha madness that is last-minute Christmas preparation, due to jobs ending so close to the Christmas holidays and feeling wreaked by the fibro for too much of this year.
