Regarding the spam, it's basically a technology problem.
The UBB code used for these forums renders profile pages (with our e-mail addresses) as standard HTML pages - easily retrieved via a variety of automated spam engines. Unlike many other sites where I feel free entering a phony e-mail address, I actually want other FT'er to be able to contact me. Long term, we'd have to hope for a fix from InfoPop which will make it more difficult to harvest e-mail addresses. |

Hummm, strange that no one ever contacts me for quotes in news stories...
Guess it tough to be taken seriously when you start off a show with... "In other news, the Village Idiot has some ideas that will revolutionize air travel as we know it today. His idea, using a system of slingshots ands catapults to move passengers quickly and..." Or maybe people can't spell my email address correctly? But really, is excuseme_haveyouseenmyvillageanywherearoundhere@ho tmail.com all that difficult? Great thing is, I've never gotten any spam... come to think of it, I never get regular email either, strange. |
Idiot...you don't have to be contacted and interviewed to be quoted.
I quote you all the time! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif |
