    You actually read the spam messages? Damn, you must be bored. Mine go in the recycle bin as soon as I take one look at the subject or email address. Michael The avalanche has started, it's too late for the pebbles to vote.

      90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE OK, if they can't even do simple maths, how on earth are they expected to do scientific adjustments to important parts of anatomy? :eek:

          I hate it when some idiot sends me one of those. One did make me laugh a couple of weeks ago though - it was a girl who was obviously on a manhunt going through the address book on one of my ISPs and giving her email address and nothing else but a bit of fake waffle saying "I saw you online....blah, blah, blah". I sent her a reply asking if she knew I was a pre-op transsexual and how she got my addy as I don't use it anymore. Funnily enough, I haven't heard anything from her since. :laugh: Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

              I don't know if you've seen it, but out of boredom I put up a page on my site that solicits people to mail me crazy stuff (mostly as I was wondering how long before that email address got captured by spambots) Letters from Mad People[^] The first three were from people I already knew, who just felt like mailing me stupid stuff. The fourth was my attempt to get a response from a peculiar spam (tho I note that no spam has yet been sent to the crazy people address), but the fifth is my only success so far - a genuine stranger who somehow stumbled onto my site, and felt that she had to respond. Actually, we chat quite regularly on MSN now, which is pretty cool, though it's mostly teen angst (oh the joys of A levels) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                This all reminds me of something that I came across whilst studying statistics (I think it was talking about how useless statistics really are, as you can make them "prove" anything) Anyway, The average human being has one breast, one testicle, and half a penis. (and half of all the female gentialia as well, of course, but that's far too much to list here) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                  Site feedback can certainly be interesting. I get them from both my MSN Public Profile[^] and from my website. Those that come through my Profile seem to be mostly 20-something Egyptian guys looking for a girlfriend but occasionally I do hear from other TS/TG folk and/or Christians. Most of the feedback I get through my website is from others in a similar position or those supporting them (I haven't had any bashers write to me :)). It certainly seems to be serving it's purpose - I was even contacted by someone from my old school who's in the same position! Small world. Every person I can help -even if just a little bit - makes it all worthwhile. :) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

                      Bit rude so avoid if you are a prude. Got this through spam today: "90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE PENIS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ?" Paul: Oh no! 90%?!?! God, I thought I might be average, but 90%? That is a lot! Where's their number.... Oh wait a minute... how can 90% be below average? Surely the average would reflect the 90%? So if 90% had 7inches then fine, 90% can't be below average, right? I don't mind clever spam, but stupid spam is just sad and a waste of time for everyone.

                                  Bit rude so avoid if you are a prude. Got this through spam today: "90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE PENIS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ?" Paul: Oh no! 90%?!?! God, I thought I might be average, but 90%? That is a lot! Where's their number.... Oh wait a minute... how can 90% be below average? Surely the average would reflect the 90%? So if 90% had 7inches then fine, 90% can't be below average, right? I don't mind clever spam, but stupid spam is just sad and a waste of time for everyone.

                                        Hmm - I just checked my old ISP email account that I gave up downloading at the end of December. 410 mails, 2 of which weren't spam -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                                          Bit rude so avoid if you are a prude. Got this through spam today: "90% OF MEN HAVE A SMALLER THAN AVERAGE PENIS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM ?" Paul: Oh no! 90%?!?! God, I thought I might be average, but 90%? That is a lot! Where's their number.... Oh wait a minute... how can 90% be below average? Surely the average would reflect the 90%? So if 90% had 7inches then fine, 90% can't be below average, right? I don't mind clever spam, but stupid spam is just sad and a waste of time for everyone.
