CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-payback-time dept.

So, over the years, Rob, as only true friends do, has managed to cause my inbox to explode over the years. Now, it's payback time. That's right, our very own CmdrTaco is turning 30 today. I highly encourage you to drop him an e-mail at (remove the spam parts) maldaSPAM@SPAMslashdot.org. And of course, birthday presents of single malt scotch can be sent c/o of me. I'll...uh...make sure he gets them.

    "maldaSPAM@SPAMslashdot.org"

    Argh, I'm just not figuring this out. I've got the malda part, but am having trouble with the last part. I keep getting "slashdot.org" but I've never heard of that before. This SPAM stuff just confuses me.

    On a serious note, are spammers really thwarted by foobar_AT_barbaz.com (apologies to the person with that e-mail address) and foobarNOSPAM@NOSPAMbarbaz.com? I mean, really, s/_AT_/@ isn't exactly rocket science.

    I've got some anecdotal information to back that up. I ride mountain bikes, a lot. Let me stress that. A lot!

    I thought I was in pretty good shape for a 34 year old (at the time). My troop of riders went to Long Island to ride our bikes with some friends of friends. There was this one guy, we called him "Sarge," that was 62 or 63 y.o. He was the fastest thing on two wheels I ever saw (besides the amateur MTB Racers, that is). He whooped the pants off of us youngins.

    So, I'd say, the parent post hangs true. I've experienced it (from the 'younger' point of view). Kind of puts some things into perspective.
