I love the English language and how you can use it to explain anything, spell with it in any way you like and twist it to make up new concepts like "pretexting":
Earlier in the day, the Congressional committee asked HP to turn over "records and information related to the company's reported effort to obtain private phone records." The request was made as part of the panel's ongoing investigation into "pretexting" — the practice of impersonating a person in order to access their personal information. HP hired private investigators who used Social Security numbers and other personal information to impersonate HP directors and journalists. The impostors then tricked phone companies into turning over detailed logs of their home and cellular phone calls.Soundtrack for this post? Folsom Prison Blues.

It's nothing Jim Rockford never tried in the 1970s. He kept a small printing press in his car for making false business cards.

Maybe that is the problem: too many channels giving too much access to mid-70s private eye dramas. I think Jim's Dad was usually right, by the way.

I see Patricia Dunn is stepping down now. :-D

Love the song Folsom Prison Blues - My family has watched Walk the Line more times than we care to remember since the DVD came out this year.
Greetings,
My name is Cary Briel, and I live in Skaneateles with my wife Chris and two kids.
I recently launched a brand new Syracuse free dating site named syracusefriends.com. We are hoping to become THE place for online dating and social networking for people in the Syracuse area.
I would consider it a HUGE personal favor if anyone here would check out the site, and let me know if there are obvious problems, or feel free to send suggestions, general impressions, etc. as to how the site might be improved for the better.
The site is completely free to use, and will remain free of charge.
All profile info can be viewed without an account, and any user at least 18 yrs old can create their own profile (feel free to do this if you wish!).
The new website address is: http://www.syracusefriends.com
My e-mail address is support@syracusefriends.com.
Thanks in advance for the help :)
Best,
Cary Briel

I appear to have a soft spot for Syracuse based spam. If any GX40 geeks care to have a look to help someone from the land of salt potatoes I say go for it.
