you're welcome for my time because i offered it in good faith. and hey!!
you know what? i used my REAL email address without any b.s. pumped into
it. so don't get funky. why don't YOU spend some time and look it up!!!!!!

I can't apologize for my doubt or for my bemused reaction, which seemed
pretty well to match the nature of the suggestion.

I have no idea what offends you about my email address, which is a REAL and
VALID address (no bullshit, if that's what you mean by "b.s."), disguised
from harvesting bots, yet readable by humans. The fact that you don't do
something like that may explain the mountain of spam/junk mail you find in
your inbox (I get none at all). There is no particular virtue in making
yourself and your ISP the target of malicious spammers and virus
distributors -- especially for Outlook users like yourself.

I am not sure what "funky" can mean in this context; I'm sure I could look
that up, if it seemed worthwhile.

in australia, and this might only work in australia...i don't know...it's
worth a try, though. in australia (as i was saying) they fill up those
2-litre plastic pop bottles with plain old water and they place these
bottles on the parking strips and the dogs will not pass these bottles to
get to the other side of the sidewalk!!!!!!!!!

like i said...try it.

I don't have "parking strips", whatever they may be, and I am not near a
sidewalk. But I understand you to be telling me to put out some
water-filled two-liter bottles along the property line, and to expect that
they will prevent the passage of dogs. Have I got it right? I do this when
the moon is full, right? I don't need any holly stakes or anything like
that?
