Ernie Miller
>I got yours bill but I didn't get Georges? I wonder who else sent me one that I didn't get I'm off to the spam blocker to check.
Man I feel better!
Ernie Miller
>I thought I had the palge or bad breath or somthing as untill today onley Jennifer had e-mailed me. Then I got Bills so I thought things were getting better but when I read the message below I got worried and checked the spam blocker and I found about twenty of you wanting to play! That is more like it. All ways room for more so the game will be fun. I thought I would have to e-mail them two and tell them no one wanted to play and send a conselation gift for wanting to be my friend. I'm going to go raise a cold one for all you Spammers out there that just made my day.

Re: Spam Filters

>I'm really getting tired of the Spam Wars.
Tell ya what I'm gonna do... I'm going to forget about what I was planning to stuff in someone's Christmas stocking. After all, I could have sold it tonight for twice the $20, probably I could have sold at least three of them at that price. Instead, I'm gonna' go out to Costco and buy about $20 worth of canned Spam (animal, vegatable and mineral Spam, but not data Spam) and send that to some poor Centralian who doesn't deserve it. After all, I've been putting a can of it all the way at the bottom of my son's stocking every so often over the last twenty years or so.
There is a long tradition linking Spam with the holiday season. Rumor has it that Rudolph was not a reindeer--He was really a spamalope. Further, has anyone seen the recipe for the "Roast Beast" in the traditional Who's in Whoville's Christmas dinner? I wouldn't be surprised if it included Spam as well. With all these Spam filters, we may all starve this holiday season.
Back to reality: Ernie, you might want to reconsider the practicality of e-mail management of this event. Heck, we've got a Forum on WC called "Events". Maybe you could somehow figure out how to use that as a communications backup, at least for acknowledgment of receipt of communications? The main issue would be the preservation of anonymity, just to keep it fun.
Da List!
Ernie Miller
>I figure it is easer to post a list of the players so far instead of answering each of you. About that spam filter once I mark you as friendly I get all of you e-mails and you are all safe with me now. I even found some work burried in that filter sisne my boss put it on the machine I left the work there figuring that they didn't want me to do it sinse they filtered it out. Dodged that one. here is the list of players so far Around the midle or end of next week you will get you easy to fallow instructions on how to play. I may throw in a small new twist this year just for giggles. If you sent a message and don't find you name here please send it again. Bawb I put all of this in a data base so I will know when you try and get two presents to the same address there will be no cheating!
