or perhaps i should call this one "it's over. good morning to you too, part 2."

woke up to the following chillin' in my inbox:

well, thanks! to you, becky-sue for keeping the springstreet nework safe for all those horny daters, i'm sure my attempt at being a cheapskate was putting your entire empire at risk. you showed me. your power to change my profile does scare the hell out of me, the potential to get kicked off only only makes me laugh.

so, any other thoughts on free dating on-line schemes, ladies? maybe i just need to remove the words "free" and "popmail" and "server" from the contact hint i put out there... who knows how they found out? i mean, i can't imagine they were like "hey bob and becky, let's read through all the 26 year-old ladies looking for ladies accounts today and see if any of these hoochies are tryin' to get over on us."

but what do i know.

online no-no #1. lesson learned- you gotta pay to play.
