Don't buy a car from Exxon Mobil and expect it to be fuel efficient.

Exposure is not really variable 1 to 100 type thing. It's more like a 0 or 1 type thing. If you've exposed your address to one spammer you've very likely exposed yourself to all of them and they don't forget. It's probably next to impossible to not expose your email address to spammers. It's not worth the effort to conceal it.

I worry more about exposing it to half wit Internet trolls than I do exposing it to spammers.

Hyperboleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to the rescue!!!!!

Heck maybe they can stop canceling shows because they get low viewership at 2 in the morning (Firefly).

I had a large collection of VCR tapes that I recently decided to preserve in digital format. Everything from kids cartoons, recordings of birthday parties and family gatherings, to the Stargate and Terminator movies.

My advice? Don't buy a new VCR. It will eat your tapes and break after about ten plays. Go find a used one from the 80's or early 90s at a yard sale or online. We found one and it has worked spectacularly despite its age. The new ones are designed to fail. Like many things, "they don't make 'em like that anymore."

Yes, but not like this. It's practically all there is. And bigger artists often only manage one hit per album if that. Contrast with Michael Jackson who had 7 in the top ten from a single album back in the '80s. People used to buy albums and be ecstatic because there was maybe one or two songs that kinda sucked. Today they wait to see which one song is worth paying for. It transitioned from having one or two songs that suck per album to having one song that doesn't suck per album. For some reason the RIIA thinks the problem is piracy. I say go find some new talent that can work a crowd and can preform without autotune.

Because most of us like having things like sewage systems, streets, and someone to get the drunk drivers off the roads. Of course, with no roads, I guess the drunk drivers wouldn't be a problem.

I Just wish they could do all that without the multi-trillion dollar price tag. I don't hate government I just hate most of ours.

I know noooo one remembers the 80's but back then there was more than one hit per artist. EACH TAPE had several songs that charted well.

We do not have this today. We're lucky to see an artist that can chart one song well. But I'm sure it's piracy that's causing it. Why haven't there been any mega stars in the last 20 years?
