Yes, and I have a mail account there. They filter spam, and do a pretty good
job of it. And after that, I run the remainder through spam assassin and
ASK, just to be sure. It's the best compromise I've found.

Yes. Took me 5-10 minutes to verify that this was all it had done, though.
It's the principle of trying to make me install this sh** that's annoying.

They do exist. The survey had no numbers for the game in January 2001, but
1,500 out of 96,000 users had named the game in October. It ranked ninth for
that month, after solitaire, freecell, hearts, minesweeper, and all the
other timewasters.

We all know that Solitaire is the most played computer game in the world.
But that survey and its demographic has nothing to do with the user base, or
the kind of games we are talking about here.

Enno.
