A 90 year old man who had been married for over 70 years was asked how his success with marriage came about and he said he learned that two magic
words were the key....YES DEAR.

Muchas gracias. I was trying to understand an email address over the phone and that word kept getting in my way. After I hung up and looked at what
I had written I knew that was a word I needed to learn.
When will you be back in LB?

Arroba
I had forgotten that.
Down in Percebu, we have a camp dog that was left behind by some Gringos. He has sort of been adopted by the workers there, but we make it a point to
bring down enough canned and dried dog food to feed him while we are gone. The workers have little enough for themselves and the dog wouldn't get
much otherwise.
Anyway, I was told by a neighbor that they had named him arroba and everybody was calling him that. I looked up "Arroba" in Velasquez and found a
variety of definitions, none of which seemed to apply. I asked Jorge why they were calling him Arroba and he said, no, He's A "Roba" because he's
always stealing food.

Are you sure that helps?

For what it's worth, posting someone's email address in clear text like that, very likely is going to net them spam email. Harvest robots. It's best
to disguise it in some way that a human can understand but doesn't appear to be an email to a machine...

Larry and David K,
Are you sure your suggestions help?
I am not an expert on spyware but I will bet you that the software that examines your post doesn't look at the text as you are seeing it on the
screen. I'll bet it scans the HTML files that generate the text you are seeing.
And, if you are providing an email link in an HTML file it doesn't matter what displayed text message you chose. In order for the link to work you
need to include the email address. That email address is in the file but is not displayed as text. And since the spyware is looking at the HTML file
and not the text we all see ... you are still exposing the user to potential worms.

Is this a boring post? Undoubtedly. But it's 1:30 AM and I can't think of an interesting post for you. And it is somewhat educational.

Some work each way, and it
doesn't matter if it's part of an email *link* or not. Either way it's looking for text in the format of an email address - and in the HTML code, the
email address isn't in any different format to search for.
Not that anyone here cares, but ways around this are to display alternate text, or your email address in a graphic on the page, and to break the email
into parts using javascript in the HTML code (this is not something you can accomplish in your posts to this forum board however). If anyone needs an
example, you can refer to the source code at:
http://www.regionalinternet.com/contact.shtml
And it's scraping/harvesting/extracting software, not spyware. (fyi)

mailto tag
Doug,
My point was that what you see on the screen is not everything that the software is analyzing.
Specifically, I had in mind the mailto tag in HTML. This tag, as you know, will cause the mail utility be invoked from the browser with the user's
email address already in it. It's the browser's connection to the mail world.
This tag has some syntax that's displayed on the screen and some that's actually used as the destination email address. If you change the wording of
the text in an attempt to 'hide' the address the software will still uncover it because it's processing the entire tag itself.
Obviously, if people are simply adding email addresses as free text then this doesn't hold true. I said you may not be hiding the emailing address.
Regarding how the searching software works. I really can't see how it would look for the email information other than by searching all of the files
that make up any given page. There just ain't nothing else.
I could have done more thorough research on the subject but I'm not really that motivated by it all and neither are people that visit this site. I
work with software for a living. It's my work. And when I'm not working ... I don't want to work.
Putting it another way: I'm part geek and part human. When I come to this site I want to be human. Does that make sense?

I have noticed that several of my posts are missing. To the best of my knowledge there was no reason to remove them. Could someone enlighten me as to
where they went?

JR would appreciate this!
Harvested my bamboo I contracted out last spring. We are going to use it for building projects here on our farm. Bridges, palapas, tepees, etc.

Off topic cuz I grew and grow this bamboo in Alta California.
Here is a pic of our pumpkin patch and farm using bamboo as tepees, post , flagpoles and fences etc. But no attachments allowed in off topic?
So I bring JR back to the top of the page. I?ll say this bamboo is fun stuff to work and build with!
