Not to be a jerkoff but Paul Markham sends out entirely too much email. Word to the wise Paul, trim the spam and unnecessary announcements down to the nitty gritty...

i just got a mail from Paul apologizing. I knew about this before a friend had sent me a similar one. But because she is a girl I didn't trust her and made a search on google about it.

No big deal though, because it doesn't cause any problem.

OK
I know now I'm stupid.
When it comes to computers I'm a novice. Sorry about the emails.

We only normally send out one a week when we put up 20 new sets.

I did try asking our registered viewers what they wanted from us in terms of a service, content, etc. If that's spam then I guess I'm guilty.

DPlayMax
Give me your email address and I will check it out why you got so many. Or is this just another hoax??

Do not worry about it. It takes a lot of guts to admit you might have sent them a virus. Then even more to admit you were "stupid" and did the wrong thing. Do not change. Saw your posts about how long it takes you to come. Very funny.
