[edit] WHO'S SELLING MY EMAIL ADDRESS?

I set up a brand spanking new email address and used it in only 2 registrations. One was at Shutterfly, the other was at Wikipedia. Suddenly, I get spam from only one source - John Kerry. Was it Shutterfly or was it Wikipedia?

Wait, now Gary Hart is sending me email. I ask again, was it Shutterfly? Wikipedia? What do you think?

[edit] MY CONTENT

I have got to keep the below links handy so that I won't screw up too bad, but I'm absolutely amazed at the speed and comprehensive nature of the updates by Wikipedians. And the fairness besides. I was so struck by the fairness, I even altered Hillary Clinton's page because some scandal was inordinately highlighted - and yet, I'm a Republican.

But truth is most important.

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 22:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
