Not a problem. Anyone who chooses a pseudonym like "truth", in
Latin and lower case especially, is asking to be overlooked. I
then tried to read some of its opinions... The matter has been
well dealt with by the spammer and re-dealt-with in its follow-
ups (with of all things a sig seemingly quoting its own work).

But thanks for the caution. :-)

Andrew,
I just posted to Marilee J. that Irina Rempt on her July 28th 1:31
A.M. post suggested to me that because some people receive these on
different systems and could not see the profiles on Google, that I
should put the website at the bottom as she did. Now I get stung for
doing that. The quote is from me. I see many people use a quote at
the bottom of their post with a website. My inexperience with the
publishing business is as valid as anyone else on here. Why should I
be ignored? I seem to get different opinions of what I am doing is
right or wrong. Who do you believe? Why would the name is lower case
bother you? Would capital letters suit you? You can't please
everyone, but as for spammer, I have just as much to say as anyone.
As I said, Dorothy J. told me long ago it would be tough, but failed
to mention the surgical instruments used. Ken

If you are going to have a "signature" at the bottom of your posts, the
standard format is to have it start with a line containing only two
hyphens and a space character. When other people reply to your
messages, their news reader program will automatically trim off this
constant text and quote only the body of the message.

Incidentally, you will see some other messages from me, from earlier
tonight, that don't have my signature attached. I am trying out a new
email/newsreader program, Mozilla Thunderbird, and am still tweaking the
settings. I had not noticed that some of my messages were going out
with signatures attached, and some without the signatures.

Thank you for the info. Zeborah showed me what a lot of you see and I
understand what I've been doing. I'll keep my quote, (It's mine) and
leave out the website. Thanks for the info. It was good advice. The
quote is very true, I have to perceive the truth correctly as well.
Thanks again, Ken

It's not the website. I have my LJ URL in my .sig. The problem is
that you need to put the hyphen hyphen space enter *above* your quote
and website.
