joey_matthews @joey_matthews (8354) 12 Jun 07

close to being well known

get up and get on with it

spudsstuff Most of the time I try to rate the responses people leave to discussion I have started. After all they have taken the time to respond so the least I can do is give them a rating. I'm not sure if or how it effects your earnings.

spudsstuff Federer will never win the French Open as long as Nadal is playing. Nadal would be number one in the world if every court was clay.

spudsstuff Easy. You can buy email mailing lists with literally millions of email addresses. Some also use programs that randomly generate email address for example johnsmith1@hotmail.com, johnsmith2@hotmail.com and so on. I hate spammers!

amaleigh73 @amaleigh73 (499) • United States 6 Jun 07

spudsstuff Hell no. I can't stand them. Luckily here in New Zealand we have very few infomercials. A lot less than what we had a few years ago.

spudsstuff Every piece of software always seems to have "security" flaws. I'm sure Yahoo will release a fix for these. I liken software to your house. It doesn't matter how "secure" you make it, if someone wants to break in they will.
