[Nobbc] Please read- not a joke

Thu Oct 6 15:35:54 MDT 2011

I can't see anything even close to COMING DOWN HARD in John Kenner's
comment/opinion.
 HARD would be calling him a lot of names and going on for 1,000 words. He put
his opinion concisely into one sentence.
  NO HARM NO FOUL. Toughen up, folks!!
  I thought  the truly inappropriate thing was the initial post that exposed
the mail list individual addresses.
  I run the worldwide Grinnall Scorpion group on yahoogroups, and we have a
lot of traffic. I can pick out a scammer or spammer before he gets to strike.
I have come to realize that a LOT of people who are online are gullible and
open and respond to emails that victimize them in one way or another. The
internet is still the wild west, and you best know how to protect yourselves.
IF you go around opening every email in your junk box, or responding to things
that look too good to be true, you're a surefire victim; not if, but when.
  Any suspicious looking email address should be avoided. One little trick I
use when dealing with people who want to join the Grinnall Scorpion group
is...I RUN the email address on google. If it's someone blanketing the
internet with scams, they pop up. The other measure is...put new members on
MODERATED status.
  This group seems pretty ripe for the picking, btw.
