Alice: I sincerely apologize for mistaking your profession. <BR>Santa Chiara: I do not live in Italy. <BR>Donna: Sorry about not posting the e-mail address but I get enough spam already.<BR>

Carolyn:<BR><BR>No need to invite spam. Check out my address: you just stick a "disturbing", easily recognizable to a houman being but not to a software word in your address, just like the all-capital letters "PIPPO" in the above address. This way other contributors will be able to e-mail you, but stripping clean your address will be impossible for spammers (who do not hand-strip addresses, they just colklect them from the web through software spiders).

Alice: I think that your many informative postings are much appreciated and of great service to the traveling public. Keep up the good work!

Ciao ALICE-<BR>Sono MOLTO riconoscente del'aiuta ed informazione che le scriva sull'internet. Anche io lavoro a editoria: Capisco bene che usare la lingua nelle situazione della vita reale e cos&igrave; importante per communicare bene.<BR> <BR>I am so grateful for your advice and help on these forums. I have been studying the beautiful Italian language for a sort while now, it is very rewarding to read your advice as I plan my upcoming trip to Naples. I love your postings, which have helped me greatly!!!! Thank you.<BR><BR>May we all continue to enjoy your opinions! <BR><BR>Grazie Mille,<BR>An Alice Twain fan<BR><BR>

OK maybe I'm nieve but the reason I always post my real name & email address is because I trust people in general and so far its worked on this board. I've received so many personal email reply's to some of my posts. Spam doesn't stop me from doing what I want to do, and that is to interact with other travelers on this board.

To Carolyn:<BR>I do understand your concerns about spam, my husband feels the same, it just angers me that there's people out there that really have no travel use for this forum they just use it for their own purpose. (not you)
