| 15:17.00 | feutetejsd | hey wps, how's it going? |
| 15:17.07 | wps | whoa nelly! |
| 15:17.12 | wps | someone's in here! |
| 15:17.20 | feutetejsd | I've always wanted to be someone |
| 15:17.22 | wps | it's going great; thanks, feutetejsd |
| 15:17.29 | feutetejsd | good |
| 15:17.55 | feutetejsd | do you admin the MUG mailing list? |
| 15:18.04 | wps | no, just the website |
| 15:18.09 | wps | andrew still does the list |
| 15:18.16 | feutetejsd | gotcha |
| 15:18.58 | feutetejsd | I was wondering if the list software has the ability to convert email addressed into user at domain dot com instead of user@domain.com |
| 15:19.06 | feutetejsd | the bots have gotten a hold of the list |
| 15:19.43 | feutetejsd | cursed bots |
| 15:19.52 | feutetejsd | <-- shakes fist at the bots |
| 15:20.35 | wps | they are currently in this format: timothy.humphrey at gmail.com |
| 15:20.54 | wps | although I am fairly certain that the bots are smart enough to figure that out |
| 15:21.00 | wps | as well as user at something dot com |
| 15:21.01 | feutetejsd | interesting....well then, maybe the bots got smarter |
| 15:21.15 | wps | and user [at] something [dot] com |
| 15:21.31 | feutetejsd | ya, I set up an alias for something I was posting to the list one time, and have never used that alias for anything else, and got 7 emails to that address today |
| 15:21.34 | feutetejsd | hooray spam! |
| 15:21.53 | wps | understood… I am pretty sick of it |
| 15:22.01 | feutetejsd | but the good news is that I have apparently won some contest put on by Coca-cola, which involves a lot of money and me quitting my day job |
| 15:22.06 | wps | I wish I could get my hands around the neck of… |
| 15:22.17 | wps | wow; lucky you |
| 15:22.47 | feutetejsd | i wish the people who write these bots would use their talents for something more socially responsible and productive. some of them are dang smart developers... |
| 15:22.56 | wps | agreed |
| 15:23.41 | wps | what frustrates me even more then spam is bots that try to get into your website |
| 15:23.58 | wps | trying to create dummy accounts so that they can post crap in comments |
| 15:23.58 | feutetejsd | punks |
| 15:24.19 | wps | I can't believe that they don't have something better to do |
| 15:24.25 | wps | I guess it pays well though |
| 15:24.30 | wps | sad |
| 15:24.35 | feutetejsd | :( |
