Man, and I thought my parents were religious fanatics. Hope they don't
exercise you or your computer. Where do you live? In a highly religious
community? Hey Anders, any counter-memes we can throw together to help this
guy out? Lucifer.com thats SOOO pathetic. Hey man, they we're going to snap
on something and unfortunetly it just happened to be you. You could try
getting a Hotmail free email account at www.hotmail.com so you can access
your email through the web and subscribe the mailinglists to that instead
so that if your parents go to read the email they won't find it sitting on
your computer. Also you can look to www.geocities.com for free email
accounts and 1MB of webspace. The geocities free email account uses a POP
server so you can use it with email software like Eudora, Microsoft Mail or
Netscape Mail. I know where you can get text-based shell accounts for email
as well. I've already been through a less dramatic version of what you're
going through. If you feel the need, call me at (310)374-5543. I'm here for
yah man.
