See that's why I just let sort it out for me. Apple spent a lot of effort making sure the junk mail filters in were pretty good. Although sometimes I go for a trawl through my Junk folder. Some of them porn ones are quite good, and the 419'ers (the Nigerian legal codename for fraud; that's what the scam mails are called) are always good for a laugh.
I love replying to these and stringing them along for a bit before telling them where to go. I'm doing the same guy twice, with different email addresses, quite funny - though I'm getting bored with him now.
Had an email sent to me about a free sony ericsson phone if I forwarded it to 20 people and sent it to an employee. The person who sent it to me was doing this, so I replied to him, telling him that he's either given 20 valid email addresses to a scammer or the poor bod at ericsson is being spammed with emails.
I believe in "if it's too good to be true, delete it!"
I admit to noticing that spelling is not a strong point, but in an informal place like this where people generally ain't judged on their literacy, who gives a shit. I agree with MikeNorth's comment that the literary standard here is on a par with everywhere else.
For instance, I've just finished reading a report written by a student studying for a Masters Degree. At this level I would not expect to see basic spelling/grammatical errors, and also poorly laid out and some very dodgy formatting to get things to fit onto a page. Horrible.

yes ive read that as well
to look at bill gates you would not think that he has real problems with conferences and public speaking
but if you look closely you can see it some times
You can see Asperger's? I haven't noticed any physical difference in any of the autistic children I've taught, one of whom (current class) has Asperger's.
There are no physical differences between people with autism and any others - I have worked with a number of people with autism - you simply cannot tell just from they way they look. I have seen internet posts where people speculate about famous figures including Bill Gates, Einstein, etc., possibly having/had aspergers, but this can only be meaningless. It's understandable that people who, for example, do not make much eye contact with others, or are lacking in social skills, or are generally seen to be "geeky" in some way or other, might be suspected to have aspergers, but making assumptions like this is very dangerous.
Mike.
Thanks Mike, I didn't think it was obvious from looking at autistic people.
I've read it somewhere that autistic people have strange behaviour - I wouldn't have thought you would see this unless you were watching them for a long period of time. My mate has the usual traits. He likes things in order - his order, not anyone elses. He will push rubbish under the sofa, when it's out of sight it's out of mind. Has a very set routine, which is very difficult to change.
At first glance you wouldn't see his problem, but watch him for a few days and you would start to notice something different. Other than that, he's a normal bloke like the rest of us (though defining normal is not very easy).

If you didn't have hobbies, friends and................ comedians?
Most of us have a hobby, of some kind, and we all have friends, but, my thought is, if we dint have people that made us laff, what would life be like? Pretty boring I'd say.
I like comedians like Jeff Foxworthy, Rodney Carrington, Larry The Cable Guy, etc, cos they make laff. They say laffing is good for you and I have to agree. Whenever I feel a bit low, I stick on a comedy CD and I soon get perked up.
Which comedians do you people like?
Well, if we didn't have them, then we wouldn't know what life was like with them, so it wouldn't be boring. Would it.
But in answer to the second part of your question: Robin Williams, Eddie Izzard, Jack Dee, Kathy Burke, Bob Monkhouse, Tommy Cooper, the list goes on and on...

To make the bringing of obnoxious children into public areas a criminal offence...........punishable by death.....
I would second this... but who would you put to death? The brat or the brat's parent(s)?
Throwing cigarette ends out of car windows, punishable by having to eat offending dog end - off the road, while being kicked.... sorry, but I do rather dislike this habit.
To answer your question........
I would put to death......
a) The small obnoxious child..... because its breathing.... and to prevent it from growing up and possibly having small horrible children of its own..........
and......
b) The parents...... for having the gall to bring said small obnoxious child out in the first place..... and if they have more than one.......... hang, draw and quarter them all..........lol

Would the family shopping trips to Asda be included in this too? And the little shits who like to stand in the trolleys, or hang off the front? If so, then I think we should all write to our local MP's and see if we can get it approved.

Top series of books, if you haven't read them you dont know what you are missing.
Read them, my copy fell apart from too much reading. I agree that each time you read it you (re)discover something.
The question is though, have the films spoiled the book for you? The only thing that spoiled the film was the soppy bit at the end with Bilbo and Frodo. Yuk!

Bill Gates has aspegers
apparentley people with it have very high IQ's
You could apply some of the traits of Aspergers to a lot of people. I've a mate with Aspergers and sometimes he can be really awkward, but after reading this book I now understand that he's not being awkward, we are.
For instance. If he has no use for something (like a pen, for example) he will throw it away. Next time he needs a pen, he will go and buy a new one - then throw it away when he's finished. He doesn't (yet) realise (wrong word) that he needs to keep his pen for when he next needs it.
My mate is very knowledgeable on subjects that interest him, but quite ignorant of those that don't.
The manual for my new video recorder 
The last book I read that falls into this category was "The Curious Incident of the Dog inthe Night Time", about an young boy who has Aspergers Syndrome (a form of autism). If you know anyone with aspergers, and don't understand them, then read this book.

While we're on the subject: Do they still teach English in British schools? After reading some CV's applying for a position recently, I wonder...
and no offence, but sometimes the posts here could do with a spell checking before clicking the submit button.

Not all education is immediately evident
I think treasurechest's reply hit the nail on the head for me. A lot of what we were learning in college seemed total bollox, but now I can see why they covered those topics.

LOL, I'll get round to modern music, in about 40 yrs, I guess.

Roy Chubby Brown - cause hesd a arse hole, but he'd prob take that as a complimet
Can't disagree with you here, but there's a but. I had the (dis)pleaseure to watch one of his videos - I was off work not very well, and I was sick of the quiz shows that pollute daytime tv - so I put this in. Now his jokes are unfunny, but he did one piece that was, in my opinion, very good. He told a story using, mainly, the titles of Beatles songs.
I'd still put him on pin 1 though, with Jordan and whats his name behind..
And Nicolas Cage.
And the entire cast list of all the soaps (can we liquidise them first so that they would all fit on one pin?) not technically stars, but they are on TV.
Cliff Richard - no one will play his songs, so he can at least play the game
hwoar: Take a self-defence course, plenty of ways to hurt people long enough to get away. You will also be taught awareness, which will help too. As someone said earlier, hairspray or deodrant can be used to cause some discomfort to an attacker. Never try to kick a man in the balls, lifting your leg that high makes you unbalanced. Kick them in the shins as hard as you can - less expected and puts them off balance, then push the fucker over. If someone grabs you from behind, step backwards, chances are you will unbalance them and they will let go. If you land on them, give them a good elbowing before getting up. Oh, probably less useful these days, but scream as loud as possible. Shout "Fire", rather than - this will appeal to the ghoulish nature of most people.
Those are just some of the things I remember my sister telling me when she went on a self defence course many, many years ago.
You have a short time to defend yourself, and as long as you don't keep kicking the shit out of someone, then you are probably going to be alright from a legal point of view. But check with a good lawyer beforehand
