To Chuck…actually, it’s why I mentioned “…some cluelessness”. I don’t believe it’s all, or even most…just “some”

I’m not really a longtime Venomite (only found the site a couple of months ago) and I am not one who signed up with this service. But, I do have to defend the AOL address.

Yes, quite a few people wil @aol.com in their e-mail are pretty clueless. But, I have 2 AOL e-mail addresses among my 9 e-mail addresses. One of them is for my AOL phone number, so I don’t ever have to give out my real phone number to businesses. The other I use as my freak filter for spam e-mail.

So, there are some of us who have an AOL address who do have a clue about the way things work. I know that I’m in the minority. But, I just wanted to say that not all AOL e-mailers are evil…

Having deleted the emails, I can’t remember if they were AOL ones or not.

As for AOL email users, the old stigma’s due to change now that it’s no longer just an overpriced portal to the net that people used to actually think was the whole net.

Can you at least tell us if these “longtime Venomites” have an AOL email address? That would be par for the course (in terms of some cluelessness).

I was invited and signed up, and I did *not* give them my email password. I think it asks for that if you want it to bring in all your contacts from your email, and then they spam all your friends.

Somtimes it pays not to be popular…

I haven’t gotten an invite to quetchup yet
I have to agree with Kate, how many times is one told “do not give out your username and password to ANYONE ? It’s not only kids who don’t listen, the intelligent amongst us have bra…

Too many people sign up for things and simply fill out the form… there is no thought involved. It never occurs to them what might possibly be done with this information.

I hadn’t really heard much about Quechup – I’ve been swamped lately and it’s all I can do to get through my blog stuff when I’m not working. Although I’m guessing so far most of the people I know haven’t signed up cause I’ve not gotten any (now watch the onslaught begin since I’ve said this… heh)

Uh-oh. Now I’ve got that George Thoroughgood song stuck in my head:

I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself.

It’s the Curse of the Venomous. At least you have the internet, so you can get compensation for all those lonely cocktail parties.

You certainly need to be Ass-toot to sign up for something that requires your email password.
