Apparently I either did not attach the address label properly or when customs opened the box the destroyed it.

All I got from Canadian Post is "No Such Address".

Fun.

Jeremy, sorry about this, please resend your home address to my evil_merlin At comcast d0t net email and I will reship this week.

*thanks OW*

I'd edit out that email addy in your post ASAP. You get mail bots looking for email addy's through out the internet, especially in forums. Hence the now defacto method of giving out your email address: MyName at Server dot com, eg., EvilMerlin at hotmail dot com.

I'm sure email bots have become smarter, but why take the risk to get spam mail?

Don't thank me just yet. I don't know if mail bots have been programmed to look for stuff like 'dot com', or the like. It is teh suck that people do this just so they can spam you.

I know a guy that purposely would write programs to collect email addresses and was proud of it. He'd send me these simple emails but they'd be huge in terms of kb, so I don't know if he was somehow trying to get access to a list of email addresses in my contacts. Not sure. Irk the shit out of me. Especially since he was proud of using sly methods to get access to email address. No matter, I never really liked him anyway and never was much of a friend of his. Haven't heard from him in a while; but last I heard, his computer company went out of biz and he is now helping his uncle's friend with trading somewhere in China.

Spammers suck.

Well, your location used to have 'indiana, the asshole of america'. Now you have, 'in.US', which I assume it to mean, Indiana.USA

No, it means that Hitscan is in us, or that there's a little bit of Hitscan in all of us.

Very Happy

Funny you should mention Leia, the SNL with Carrie Fisher back in the John Belushi days was on last night. I didn't see much of it, but what I saw was great!

I'm humbled that you consider me a Jedi. Now wash my lightsaber.
