Off Topic: Does anybody here want a GMail account?

Hi, If you want a GMail account, reply to this post... I will be happy to extend you an invitation. I have ten, I think, right now, but fear not -- I will watch this post for a while, and usually once I use up all of my invites, it doesn't take long for them to be replenished. -- Eric

By the way, I just checked, and they've increased the number of invites I can have at once to 50! This means I have 48 invites left... and I'm looking to use them! -- Eric "Eric A.

But now you've spammed the group twice, and encouraged others to post offtopic replies, perhaps you could post your ruddy gmail address so those interested can reply to you directly rather than wasting our time here. -- Mark McIntyre CLC FAQ <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html> CLC readme: <http://www.ungerhu.com/jxh/clc.welcome.txt>

Also, consider using services like http://isnoop.net/gmailomatic.php instead of posting OT messages (nothing wrong with you, just wanted to let you know in case you didn't).

Thanks for the tip! I have just sent my invites to that website. Anybody else who wants an invite please visit that website... thank you! -- Eric

I don't spam people... it's offensive to me, and anyway, I have nothing to sell! ;-) I guess that might be a good idea, if a spammer wanted to... but it seems to me that any real spammer would want to be able to email thousands at a time, not four or five, or a dozen at most. Anyway, if you look elsewhere, you can see that I just sent all of my invites to http://isnoop.net/gmailomatic.php. It's a really good idea. -- Eric > C++ newsgroup welcome message: > http://www.slack.net/~shiva/welcome.txt > C++ Faq: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite > C Faq: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/c-faq/top.html > alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ faq: > http://www.comeaucomputing.com/learn/faq/ > Other sites: > http://www.josuttis.com -- C++ STL Library book > http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl -- Standard Template Library >

I didn't consider this to be spamming, really... I was simply trying to share something I'm interested in. That's why I clearly marked this as "Off Topic". I know how fascinated I was with GMail when I first heard of it, and how excited I was when a coworker of mine finally gave me an invite. I also realize that some people already have invites, and others may not even be interested in GMail. To each their own. But if you don't enjoy reading this topic, you can always choose not to read it. You may want to look at subnet's message, and my reply to him. He actually gave me a useful way to handle my situation (too many GMail invites), which I took advantage of. He didn't criticize me, but rather was helpful. Thus, I am now recommending that people go to http://isnoop.net/gmailomatic.php to either get an invite or to get rid of their invites so that others can use them. I will not be sending out invites personally in the future. One more thing: You may not have noticed, but I have posted on-topic here, as well. I am fairly a newbie, but I am following people's advice and taking the subject seriously. I will try to refrain from being annoying. Even you were a newbie, at some point in your life... so take it easy, will ya? -- Eric > Mark McIntyre > CLC FAQ <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html> > CLC readme: <http://www.ungerhu.com/jxh/clc.welcome.txt>

Yeah, well, I'm interested in Astronomy, motorbikes and 36-24-36 models, but that doesn't give me carte blanche to spam unrelated groups with messages about any of that. >That's why I clearly marked this as "Off Topic". Marking it offtopic doesn't make it less offtopic! And if this became either commonplace or permitted, the group would almost certainly degenerate into a useless mess. >I know how fascinated I was with GMail when I first heard of it, >and how excited I was when a coworker of mine finally gave me an invite. This may sound rude, but being excited by an email system is quite sad. >But if you don't enjoy >reading this topic, you can always choose not to read it. Thanks, but its better if you simply don't pollute the group with it in the first place, don't you think? >I will try to refrain from being annoying. good plan -- Mark McIntyre CLC FAQ <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html> CLC readme: <http://www.ungerhu.com/jxh/clc.welcome.txt>
