I know it makes the contact form a bit more difficult to use, but it’s unfortunately necessary because otherwise I’ll be inundated with spam.

That's my problem too. Way too much mail.

The difficulty is that half of it is spam, but the other half is real. Hard to disentangle.

Apologies to everyone who wrote to me in the last month -- I'm trying to catch up on responding to each email, but it's soooooo time-consuming! I just don't have enough hours in the day to answer (or even read) all my emails.

I do have Spam Assassin on, but if I turn up the settings too high, I miss some real emails.

A lot of the spam is not the typical "viagra-Nigeria-3INCHES!" spam but targetted junk mail just for me -- jihadis while away their hours signing up my Mohammed email address for every sort of online club or Islamic newsletter or Muslim dating site, not to mention foreign-language spam lists that the American spam filters don't do too well with.

Well, I like the name a lot.

The last time I posted on this subject, by the way, someone suggested an alternative method of including a hidden input element in the form, removing it with Javascript, then rejecting the submission if that element was present.

Nope, doesn't work. When I tried it yesterday, I got spam within minutes.

Oh, yeah, I get that. Much more annoying are some Middle Eastern social networking sites that send a notification email every time someone comments on my profile -- a profile which someone else set up for me using my return address and over which I have no control. So then spambots leave spam-comments by the hundreds on my profile page on this or that Arabic chat site, and I get a notification email each time.

Multiply that by 25, 30, who knows how many chat sites. Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu , etc. -- man, it gets tedious! Their harrassment techniques are pretty effective!

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights. The decision validates Republican-inspired voter ID laws.

re: #41 Ma Sands

I don't have the password to "my" account.

Besides, the sites are in Arabic or whatever, and I'd be completely unable to navigate them.

How it works is:

There's a badly designed Muslim sex-chat room, let's say. You have to sign up to be a member, but they don't require you to verify your email address to join -- you can sign up with any email address. So a jihadi will sign up with my email address, and turn the settings to "notify via email every time you get a comment." Then he walks away -- done. Over time, spambots will start leaving me messages, and I'll start getting notification emails for them.

The account exists, with my email address, using a password some other person made up, and I have no way of canceling it or turning it off.

What I can do is set up a specific email block for that one domain (which I do occasionally do), but even doing that becomes completely overwhelming and tedious, as they sign me up all the time.

Hi Charles,

Although Java script and cookies are enabled, I can't send mail unless I'm logged in.

When I navigate back to the page, I'm still logged in but the links viewer never pops up. If I then log out and log back in the viewer will return. Me thinks it must be a caching issue in IE7/Vista but I don't know if anyone else is suffering the same problems?

Check your LGF account settings - you may have 'Always hide top links on page load' checked. Uncheck it and save.

Also, the top rated links area remembers the last setting; even if you have that button unchecked, if the links area was closed the last time you viewed the page, it will be closed the next time.

The 'Back' button is occasionally problematic in IE, and it's a better idea to click the logo at top left if you want to go back to the front page (for example).

Beaumont here in IE7, XP Pro - all seems to work fine. Internet zone is set to Medium-high security level. Used the contact form both logged in and logged out, and the links area is behaving too.
