To Spam or Not to Spam

Being the owner of several Yahoo e-groups, I found myself losing interest in them after I had been "rubbished" or even lambasted by a few members of a particular group for being a spam- artiste. The last straw was having my computer attacked and disabled by a virus while vetting mail to forward.

Then I read an email from a friend in Australia which said:
"... had a fall, resulting in broken bones in 18 places, including several ribs. She has osteoporosis and a fall can do enormous damage. She is in pain most of the time. She is likely to be there for a while as there is nothing much that can be done except constant doses of painkillers".

The sender of the e-mail and his friends were the ones who had got the lady with the brittle bones interested in the computer and had then introduced her into one of my e-groups.

That email got me interested in continuing to source for exciting stuff on the Net to share with my e-groups as the lady in the hospital was one of the few members who had written earlier to me thanking me for my work. She had also told me that she had always looked forward to my daily postings.
