Barry,

 MP> Yes, indeed.  I thought I had plugged that little hole, but they
 MP> found a way around it.  It should be plugged good now.  :)

 BM> <chuckle> You did good!  Trouble is, the spammers seem to always find a
 BM> way. ...They do make good beta testers! <g>

  When I see a "spam message" in the message areas (at least the ones that
I access), I put that individual's name in the twit filter. Then, nothing
else from them shows up over here.

  That includes individuals who can't type more than 2 words in a message
without going on a profanity rant. My late wife (and my late Mom) had such
a command of the English language, that they could tell someone off, and
not use one word of profanity.

  I remember one time we saw a story on these "sex traffickers" and "child
abusers". She said "For punishment, forget about tar and feathers. Strip
the offender nude, tie them to the ground, put them near an ant mound, and
pour honey on certain body parts, and 'let nature take it from there'".

  Then, she added "And, I'm in a good mood"...I was slithering off into
my hidey hole. <G> She had one cardinal rule, though: 

  "Leave The Toilet Seat Down".

  I grew up with a brother...I didn't know it took women forever and a 
day to get ready, and the toilet seat had to stay down. If I forgot, she
spit like a mad cat. Nothing more needed to be said...I knew I was guilty.

  She always had a way with words as well (she had a Bachelor's and a
Masters Degree in Psychology), and was a whiz at word games and trivia.

  But, one day, I got sneaky after a day at work. I was coming down the
back way from work to our apartment (about 2 miles away), so there was
not much traffic. I was talking to her on the cellphone as I was driving,
and when I got to the apartment, I quietly exited the car, and headed to
the side door to "sneak in", instead of coming in the front door.

  She had been taking a shower, and it was before I had the ADT alarm
system installed. I quietly opened and closed the back door, still
talking to her...and was standing in the back bedroom. As she stepped
out of the bathroom, there in all her glory <G>, she asked "Where are
you?". I replied "Turn right".

  Upon seeing me, she growled "You big overgrown ball of fur!!". I was
laughing by butt off...and I'm chuckling as I recall that wonderful
memory. <BG>
