Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008WARNING: spam alert
Ok, time to come 'out' of the broomcloset. I'm one of the 5 moderators of alt.religion.wicca.moderated I've just had to reject 10 spam messages from their queue. Nothing unusual there. I wouldn't be sharing this with any of you had the fact that two of the messages were also crossposted to here (RPCA) and were allegedly from two upstanding and well respected members of RPCA, two people I would trust completely *not* to misbehave on usenet (or crosspost to ARWM unless just replying to an already crossposted and cat related anyway). *Please* make sure all of you have your virus protection up to date, installed and working. These messages were most likely forgeries, and had nothing to do with any of you or your machines, but just be careful, OK?

I am getting spam from myself to myself again on the address I use on usenet. Everything viruswise is up to date here. Spambots gather email addresses and then aren't they sold on, or something? At least this time I am not selling v**gra or p*n*s enl*rg***** !!

Spambots gather email > addresses and then aren't they sold on, or something? > At least this time I am not selling v**gra or p*n*s enl*rg***** !! Heh, I heard a good joke the other day Christina. A guy was at the gym in the shower and couldn't help notice how well endowed this other man was. He said "I hate to ask, but were you always like that?" The man said no; I started rubbing it with butter every day and in two months it grew two inches! So they saw each other at the gym a couple of months later and the guy asked if his suggestion had helped. He said, "No, in fact it's two inches shorter!" The other man asked did you follow my directions for rubbing it with butter? "I didn't have any butter. So I rubbed it with Crisco." Oh no.... don't you know Crisco is *shortening*?! LOL Jill >>> Ok, time to come 'out' of the broomcloset. >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > rubbing it with butter? "I didn't have any butter. So I rubbed it with > Crisco." Oh no.... don't you know Crisco is *shortening*?! LOL Nice joke, Jill, but I have never heard of Crisco. Is it an American thing?

I'm not sure what it's made of, to be honest. Is it lard? Or...? Ironically, Crisco is used as a sexual lubricant by some people. I wonder if they all know about its, um, properties? :) Joyce  SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > > "jmcquown" <jmcquown@bellsouth.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Joyce And how do you know that Joyce something you need to tell us :^) <evil grin> >It is, and it's been around a long time. I'm not sure what it's made of, >to be honest. Is it lard? Or...? ... hydrogenated vegetable oil. Bud It is man made lard. Out of vegetable oil and SUPPOSED to be better for you. It is white like lard but, doesn't make things taste near as good. I use lard about twice a year. Oh, I still use it in pie crust just don't make pies much anymore. >>It is, and it's been around a long time. I'm not sure what it's made of, >>to be honest. Is it lard?

No, it wasn't you. We've worked out its forgeries, but they're being clever about it and using the posting names and addresses of people who already post to that particularly NG - they were replying to a thread I had crossposted from ARWM. Not coincidentally, a forgery of me appeared too, but my name is on the pre-approved list so my forgery got through and got posted. Someone smarter than I am can probably figure out what domain they are coming from by looking at the headers (headers are mostly gobblydegook to me). Yowie I saw this today when I got back someone is using my headers spouting off religion in the other cat groups If you got a post from after 12pm 1-13-2008 - 10 am on 1-17-2008 it was not me I was on my cruise and just got back > Ok, time to come 'out' of the broomcloset. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Yowie
