It is in New Zealand. Has been since 1993. The problem is, we still get spam from the rest of the world.

If I didn't have to keep my typing to a minimum due to CTS and a possible 2nd cortisone shot in five days, I'd explain that a bit. Let's just say this was the fun I had, embarassing them:

What, you think I'm going to loose sleep for giving them the same treatment they give me? Please... Besides, I won't actually spamming the crap out of them.

[img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] Turnabout is fair play. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] Still, the telemarketers are the most fun to play with. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] I act like I'm really interested, then when it comes time to give my info, I tell em to frell off and hang up.
