RE: Stern Discusses 'A Different Bomb'

["Richard Beal" <rjbeal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the mid 90s when I had AOL, I'd get that stuff everyday.  I've also had
Hotmail accounts with it.

It seems AOL Time Warner and Microsoft are selling our good names to these
marketers.  What's odd is that my broadband provider is owned by AOL Time
Warner and I get none of that.  Interesting.

Yeah, we've all gotten those.  But a pop-up *picture* of a man
screwing a 2 year-old?  I've never seen nasty shit like that!
I mean, I suppose it could happen but.....

I think we've all gotten those, too.  Girls with farm animals seems
to be popular, too.  But I guess that's legal.

You mean besides your extensive collection of pictures of Pete's &
Roger's butts?  ;-o

That's the thing with some of these sites; they attack you & your
computer with kamikaze emails & pop-ups.  They literally *scare* the
viewer.

Pete's got a heavier problem than getting "kamikazeed," though.  He
used his credit card to gain access.  Curiosity, research, or whatever,
he fucked up bad by doing that.
