Attempts to remove yourself from the mailing list may only result in more mailings from the site of ill repute. Well, Ars Techica brings us news of a suit against Classmates.com. You don't need to look far for anti-classmates.com sentiment spreading like wild fire across the tubes." Good next target: ads that say "you've already won" some expensive toy.

haha, sad old man

Because everytime I type something that takes 15 seconds, I *really* want to spend 5 minutes going through my addressbook of 1200 contacts to figure out who my 100 actual friend are. Over, and over, and over. And I just love managing lists and having to add friends to it one at a time. [extreme sarcasm on] It especially works well with all the people I lost touch with and didn't have the email address of! [/sarcasm off] You know, the ones that populate my friend list these days? The people I liked and thought I'd never see again?

Indeed, we should all get off your lawn.

Nevermind the fact that everything you said could (and was) said about email 10 years ago. It's almost like you became an old man when it was past being cool to do so, haha.

OP here, wasn't a joke - I'd never heard of it before. Tried google, couldn't find it. What else can I say!?
