seems I'm destined to be labeled as a junk email poster. So despite my junk email filter I'm doomed to reduce my postings to yey or nay
Bye bye for now

RICHARD OF LOXLEY
It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

How much money have you invested in Nigerian email suggestions? How many penis extensions have you had? How many sob story emails have you had? How long have you been on line?
It's as simple as that, Richard. I'm surprised you open any emails that come from someone you don't know.
Apologies if you're looking for sympathy, but I doubt you'll get much. If I see something on line or included in an email from someone I know saying "forward this to all your friends" it usually gets ignored/deleted immediately.

This is the way
richard, ambiguous post, not quite sure what you're getting at. You will have to elaborate a little. DM covered one angle but still not sure what you're asking(as you mentioned about posting, suggests something else). Maybe I'm not perceptive enough, my sixth sense is failing me on this one. Are you just having 'one of those days'?
Added later, sorry richard, you posted while I was putting this post together.

richard,
Apologies from me if you feel I have been having a go, but one thing everyone has to learn about the wonderful world of the internet is that there are more scams and false information there than almost anywhere, often passed on with the best intentions by friends and family as they think there is a genuine risk of this that or the other. There are numerous ways to check out these things, normally Googling will tell you whether it is real or not, and there are a number of sites that specialise in debunking stuff like this; all it takes is normally a couple of clicks and about 30 seconds; if you are that lazy a tyke to even do that then you deserve any flak you get!
Everyone appreciates your intentions with those posts but you just have to be wary of information that arrives in an email, regardless of who sent it, particularly if it asks you to pass it on.

Richard, on your profile you say you are 'Retired IT Guy'.
I would have thought you know how to check these things without much time or trouble.
These scam and junk e-mails can easily be misleading to people, if you post them on the forum, someone is going to check them out. If they are found out to be spam or false information, they will post and say so. As moderators, we will then lock that thread.
I can't see you sticking to yea or nay answers, even if you do you will come in for some stick from some members for your informative response.
Live with the locked threads and get on with forum as it should be used.
