] Someone from Smithtown High School West revealed answers to three of life's pressing questions: Q: What are the indoor hobbies you enjoy? (Check all that apply) A: Books Q: What kind of car do you drive? (Check all that apply) A: Sedan Q: What is your main source of current events? A: Newspaper Know who this could be? I get so sick of the inane e-mails I get from them. They try to entice you to click on a link so that you can find out information about old friends, and when you click, of course, you see nothing of value unless you subscribe to their stupid service. I'd like to come up with the free, advertiser-supported web site that puts them out of business.

I'm with you. They are trying to position that site as a kind of "mySpace" for adults. (I don't do myspace, but I get the impression it's probably just as bad).

I don't get e-mails from them but they do seem to be one of the more common pop-up ads I get when meandering through various sites. Yo dudes, if I wanted to be in touch with those people I'd already know how to contact them. And what makes you think that I want them to be able to find me?!?

They used to let you sign up for free (maybe they still do), but to get anyone's e-mail address or contact anyone, you have to pay. I get messages all the time in my spam filters. Judging by the number, I was the most popular guy in my school: I've gotten comments from more people than were even in my class. I hate the, too.
