Sea Cat ?

He does the scuba!

and the fixin' the motorcycle and straightenin' out them nurses, and helping the helpless and makin' the chili and...and...
 
Yes to everything that's been posted beforehand.

I particularly miss his deposits into the world bank of karma.
 
I loved his story about riding on his motorcycle and some kids drove up next to him and revved their motor in a menacing way-- he turned and grinned at them-- he was wearing cheap plastic Halloween vampire teeth. They drove right through a red light to get away from him. :rose:

Miss the guy. Incredible storyteller!
 
So is nobody in contact with him or his place of work, wife or friends ?
Would someone like to tell him he's missed ?

He lives 2 1/2 hours south of me and his parents live an hour north of me, but I dunno where. :confused:

He was a cool dude, tho.

I've got his phone number, but I haven't talked to him in over a year....I miss several people from here, Cat among them.

Ditto. SeaCat is a good person with his head screwed on right and nobody's fool.


 
And here I was hoping that sarah123 was a certain one of the oldtimers under a new handle, damn. :(
 
Yet another spammer using hidden images and amazon referrer spam.

Only saw the amazon spam on the previous incarnation ( further up in the thread ) but the new one is using the exact same spam site hidden images.

Still would be a good idea to flush all your cookies before purchasing anything from Amazon, just to make sure you don't accidently give the spammer a referrer credit.

I'd take it as a kindness if you'd explain that slowly to me. I do a bit of ordering from Amazon, and I don't want it messed up. A PM would help.
 
Handley, as I understand it, Amazon gives money or credit to those who refer customers to their site. Some are legitimate, others are spammers. If you link to Amazon via their e-mails, rather than entering Amazon via Amazon's own website, the referrer gets the credit. It's rather like the portkey in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; if you grab the prize, you go straight to Voldemort. In this case, if you click on the link in the spam, you go to Amazon, but if you then buy from Amazon, the spammer gets the cut.

I would point out that there are legitimate referrers, such as oremus.org, a prayer site I often visit. They, however, make plain what they are doing and why, as the referrals support their work. They link to religious books primarily.

Thank you. I think I got that properly.
 
Referrers don't need a link, though. It can also be done through cookies, which is how these spammers work.

They put a fake image in the post, which shows up as a red x. When the page tries to access it, it loads the cookie, even though the image won't load.

If you then visit amazon with that referrer cookie, the spammer will get paid because it thinks they referred you to amazon.

It doesn't actually hurt you in any way, but you're accidently supporting the spammer if you make a purchase with their cookie on your machine.
