NEWSLETTER FOR MID APRIL, 2002



Hello Folks,

Here we go...

EXCELLENT FREE DOWNLOAD, IF SPAM IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU

Now if I were charging for this newsletter, this TIP alone would be worth the annual subscription. I've announced it on other News Groups and we all "rave on" about it.

"Introducing MailWasher, the easiest way to check and manage your emails before you download them".

"MailWasher is a powerful email checker with effective spam elimination. Discover the safe way to stop unwanted viruses and emails before they get to your computer".

"No gimmicks here, it is so easy to set up and use that you'll be managing your email like a pro in seconds. It can even be used as an effective privacy tool".

"I think you will find this to be the easiest, most effective way to manage your incoming emails. You will be amazed at how quickly you will like using MailWasher".

NO CONNECTION - I'm just a satisfied user *AND* I paid the voluntary $20.00 donation and I also agree with every statement above. I now bounce back EVERY rotten piece of unsolicited SPAM I receive and, it was getting to plague proportions anyway. Tell me if I'm wrong!

SPAM

On the topic of spam, I have now banned the use web mail addresses for new subscribers. So are many other newsletters and news groups doing the same. The pain and trouble's not worth it.

Many people use @hotmail as one example and, I thought I'd try and find out what the attraction was by signing myself up. You've gotta be kidding!

I signed up on day one, ensured I wasn't in any directory list and never used my new email address anywhere. Guess what!

Within 48 hours I had 16 spam messages, what a joke! So much for hotmail privacy provisions...

My view is that everyone has at least one "real" email address, if you are a licensed amateur for example, you can use the free and excellent qsl.net for relay purposes, I have [email protected]. Try and make a donation if you do. Many other organisations provide a similar service, I'm even looking into providing one. If you don't want to use some sort of "real" email address for my newsletter, then what are you telling me?

DX-TV, KLEE of Houston, Texas appears on British TV screens

A broadcast by Houston TV station KLEE was received by viewers in England, three years after the station had gone off the air!

Have you ever wondered what ultimately becomes of the waves that radio and TV stations sent out into space 24 hours a day? Do they fade and vanish or do they keep going forever? We do know that sometimes pictures appear mysteriously, long after a program has finished. One of the most famous of all such weird happenings was in England in September 1953.

Viewers in many parts of England suddenly saw an identification card for TV station KLEE of Houston, Texas appear on their screens one day. Several viewers took pictures of the image to prove the happening, but when British broadcasting engineers advised KLEE in Houston of the unusual event, they were told that the station had been off the air since 1950. No KLEE identification card had been shown for the past three years.

Where had the picture been for three years? Why did it appear only in England and how did it get back from wherever it had been? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?

The True Story.

    HUMOUR AND INSPIRATION

    (by ever popular demand) -

    THE SUNDAY SERMON

    In his Sunday sermon, the minister used "Forgive Your Enemies" as his subject. After the sermon, he asked how many were willing to forgive their enemies. About half held up their hands.

    Not satisfied, he harangued the congregation for another twenty minutes and repeated his question. This received a response of eighty percent.

    Still unsatisfied, he lectured for fifteen more minutes and repeated his question. All responded except one elderly lady in the rear.

    "Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

    "I don't have any."

    "Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"

    "Ninety-six."

    "Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a lady can live to be ninety-six and not have an enemy in the world."

    The old lady teetered down the aisle, slowly turned to face the congregation, and blurted out, "I outlived them all."

    Source - The now famous Chuck Mabbot.

    AND

    "OLD" IS WHEN.....

    Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love," and you answer, "Honey, I can't do both!"

    Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.

    A good looking babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door.

    If you're a lady, going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

    You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

    You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

    Getting a little action" means I don't need to take any fiber today.

    "Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot.

    Source - The even more famous Chuck Mabbot.
