Maybe. Tom trools a couple of political news groups thinking he's being
funny.

The other possibility is that he got hit the same way I did when SBC
migrated their web hosting group to new hardware and software.
All of my old settings were wiped out and it took a couple of days to
configure the new control panel.


I never bothered to check his headers but if he is smart, just replying to
the group you
read it in is the way to go.

Now if we were all smart, we would just give up changing minds set like
concrete

Still thousands a day is pretty wild, I've exposed a number of email
addresses to usenet
and my spam count is 100 a day for the combination.

SBC had a real hiccup for a couple of days recently but ya', I don't get
much SPAM either.
It's not a bad idea for Tom to use a nym. Sometimes things get heated here
or there and you wouldn't want a competitor putting an outlandish statement
you'd made in the heat of the moment in front of a prospective customer. You
might lose a sale or something.
Your meat space reputation might even take a hit.

Btw, I hope any retirement plans you may have had hasn't been changed by
the current mess.

Sort of.
This kind of opportunity hasn't been around in my lifetime. I've been
largely liquid for nearly five years and 100 percent for two.
I'm old, near death possibly, but I'm not going to miss out on this one and
a bunch that I have known for years have put a fund together.
I ordered CRAB's Friday for Monday delivery. First class equities trading at
multiples of 3 and 5 times earnings means this is a great time to be buying.
We may not be at the absolute bottom but sitting around waiting for that is
a fools game.

I'll bet there will be a thousand point gain sometime in the very near
future and I'll have a pretty big wad in when that happens.
There is always the possibility that I'll end up eating beans in Costa Rica
ad I'll be continuing to make stuff for a living. LOL
Rocket engines are fun so I can't complain.

Remember this Wes. A lot of people have bet against America. So far they
have all lost. I think we've got on last hurrah at least and it would be a
real shame to miss it.

That isn't to say there won't be real turbulence. There certainly will be
that, we'll have a spike to double digit unemployment by March but a year
from now things will setle down and unemployment will then be trending down,
Everyone will we'll all have learned an expensive lesson.
