Best not to publish your email address if you want to avoid more spam...
Do something like...Anders (AT) yahoo.es
This will help stop the email harvesters from finding the @ character and adding your email address to their list.
Although, they are probably getting smarter now and will try to find things like (AT) and (@<nospam>) etc so you have to stay one jump ahead. Like... Anders(you know what the symbol is)Yahoo.es.
cheers,
Ron

James, I hope I wont need to change my mail for years. The Yahoo I had I used for 4 - 5 years without problems. Suddenly I just couldnt open it anymore and Yahoo didnt help at all. Strange is that the same thing happened to my E-bay account at the same time. I´m changing paawords now. Moving my website to another hosting site is out of question right now. I simply havent got the energy.
Internet is getting to be something I like less and less. A good example is that I´m a lot less active on the forum now. I simply prefer to turn off the computer.
The problem with my host, is that they dont offer me a spam box. I have to plow through my Spam because sometimes clients mail end up there. Also fre mail like yahoo, hotmail are easyer to acces when you are away.
it snot exactly chicago, its that sort of hollywood non regional sound lol. just english with no real discernable origins. sometimes i do impersonations.
RE: New mail adress (again) (in reply to HemeolaMan)
To be honest Hem, actually I can't tell the difference between a Californian accent and a Florida accent! Apart from say.. Southern drawl, Jewish New York and James Cagney Chicago, it all sounds the same to me! To me, most Americans tend to have longer, more powerful and well rounded vowel sounds where as in Britain, the vowels tend to be a lot shorter.
(Except "Julian Bream" English and the Daaaaahncers! )
Strange...It's probably because I don't live in the US that I can't hear the difference, but in the UK, practically anyone can immediately identify at least 10 regional accents. Jeez, in Scotland alone there are about 7 clearly different accents and that's just a population of about 5 million.
I really like the sound of speech...it conveys so much.
cheers,
Ron

Hi Anders, I haven't seen the film, but I think it's Glasgwegian not Aberdonian. I have a Glasgow accent. (Although there are several degrees of that...some Glasgwegians even I have a struggle to understand, having been away from the place 30 years. )
Folk from Orkney and Shetland Isles (in the North) definitely have a very similar sound to Norwegians. In fact a lot of local words are similar too.
You can hear a little bit of it in Aberdonian too.....a certain rising intonation at the end of a sentence like they were a little bit startled or asking a question.
cheers,
Ron
