what I hate is the implication that I had requested to register. Kind of like those annoying fund raisers that you get in snail mail thanking you for your pledge when you have never pledged to them. Well, a charity has more of a chance of success than a bbs.

I do have to admit though, their ideas are extremely pathetic. they assume that I registered, or that I would want to register. I get about 7 emails a day, from some person in <insert third world country here> who would like to bless me in the name of <insert god> and whose <insert family member> died. They have a <insert type of cancer here> cancer, and will be dying in <insert a random number of days>, and would like to giv me <insert a few million dollars here> to give tto <insert random church> So, i didn't actually read it, until I seen the posts here. I do find it amusing though that they just assume we all know what this blink nation (The name sucks, btw), is, and that we'll just happily click on any link. This is a programming list--I wouldn't expect many people from here to actually do that. They might do better on a list where there aren't a bunch of people who know more than these people do, but even then, I wouldn't be surprised if noone clicked it. I'd be interested to see what their member count is.
