I have a new email address. it is robhill45@gmail.com
A few (OK, 4) (well, 5) points about this new address -
1. No, I haven't been fired again. I just wanted one good email
address that works, and I think Heather is tired of me using her to
check my email when I'm not in the office. So, please use this 'un for
personal emails.
2. Hotmail officially sucks. In the past several days, I've had close
to a dozen messages sent to my friends with Hotmail accounts come
bouncing back to me a day or two later. And almost none of them
contained the words p*nis, fc*k, *ss, sh*t, mudb*tt, or R*msfeld.
3. I am cooler than most of you, because I got not one, but two
invites to have an oh-so-trendy Gmail account. If you don't know what
Gmail is, then you are among the Uncool, and I can't be bothered
trying to explain it to the likes of you.
4. Despite the previous snotty statement, I love you all, or at least
have a minimum of hatred for some of you, and am therefore giving you
my email address for you to ignore or distribute to porn spammers to
get me back for something I did, may have done, am believed to have
done, or paid someone else to do to you years ago.
5. Because I am lazy, yes, I do intend to pass this notice off as a
blog entry. I also intend to use this notice to promote my exciting,
still half-finished website and blog, at www.whowantspudding.com.
Reading it for 30-40 seconds is guaranteed to change approximately
30-40 seconds of your life.
That is all.

Oh gawd. I sounded like an advertising slug for Google on my last post. Tell you what, just enjoy your freaking email.

Rob, Just a note by posting your email address on your blog you might get more spam. Readers can scour the net looking for the @ and .com. You might want to do something like robhill45 at gmail dot com. I've seen other variations like r o b h i l l @ g m a i l . c o m. Just wanted to let you know.

Holy cow, it works! that's freaky. For those of you who don't know, robhill45 & # 64 ; gmail & # 46 ; com, without the spaces, produces robhill45@gmail.com. Those wacky IT people. What'll they think of next?
No, really, what?
