Excellent. 1.800.555.Tell biz's house of fun is temporaily unavailable. In the meantime, say 'extensions' and '76255' to get to biz's secret Tellme game. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Flint [mailto:kflint@loopers-delight.com] Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2000 2:50 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: Handsonic list?

And if it ever did, I would take that poor soul off right away and there would be no issue. Or maybe they would just read the new list member directions they receive at their OWN email address and follow them, and nobody would ever notice. Of course, once in a while we have somebody get subscribed because their kid or brother-in-law or one of their alternate personalities or whoever is using their email account. Sometimes they are confused about this and ask for help. And when that happens I, an actual human, help them out as necessary. Little harm is caused to the world. Seems kinda silly to trouble every single person on a list with all these extra security steps to save them from things that practically never occur, and are easily fixed when they do. Personally, I'm getting kinda tired of being forced to use technology that makes life more complicated instead of less. "Useless Security Mearsures for Paranoid Internet Users" are about at the top of my list lately.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
