I just noticed something really cool on my Gmail account — if I go into account settings, I can choose to delete the email account I have.
I think this is great. I have a number of old orphaned free email addresses (yahoo, hotmail, etc) that are still out there as spam receptors because I couldn’t find a way to delete them. There was no simple one-click (with appropriate verification) option to get rid of them. I’ve long since forgotten the passwords and even lost track of the secondary email addresses so I’ve got no way of going in there and finding out if any long lost friends are writing to me.
An easy deletion of account is exactly what is needed. Gmail rock.

Meri, I’m using a new mail system called HoPho-Mail…
It’s a homophope based system that runs on the new HoPho language. It’s basically Java written by HomoPhobes with an infusion of CH+. ( Thats C++ written by homophobes ). It works great as long as the OS is Windows XP….( Home (ophob)e) version. I think it’ll catch on among homophobes…which of course is the entire world.

One wonders, once again, whether the previous poster is trying to undermine homophobia by demonstrating that homophobes are almost unbelievably stupid. Can there be any other explanation?

Rich, I just went to your site and saw your pic…and I must say. You look like a homophobe ( you look really queer too, but that’s another matter ). I’m very proud of you. You look like a good homophobe.

As far as I’m aware, there’s no picture of me on my site.

Rich, thanks very much 🙂 No, I don’t think I’ve seen a pic of you on your site either. I wouldn’t worry — anyone this obsessed with gayness and homophobia can’t be anything but a closet case. I’m sure we’ll all be swapping toasters later on, but for now, shall we ignore?

Sorry. Sometimes I just can’t help myself when it comes to feeding trolls…

By the way, there are pictures of me on the Web. For example, there are some rather old ones (with some spectacular pyrotechnics!) at

There may also be the ghost of the picture taken at the Cavendish Laboratory one morning when I’d only just managed to drag myself to work and looked and felt awful.
