I wanted to read an article in the Jerusalem Post today and they made me register before they would let me do this. The registration was free but it is a hassle and you have to give them a working email address so that they can “complete the registration process”.

This is downright annoying! So, I had a bit of fun and put in totally bogus information on their questionnaire. The only real thing on it was a working email address. I really got into the spirit of the thing and was quite creative (hehe).

Word to the wise, get a hotmail address. Use it whenever people ask you for your address and you don’t want them bugging you. Set the spam filter on the hotmail address to “people in my contact list only” and tell it to delete junk that has been in the junk folder for more than one week. This is one very effective way to cut down on spam and of course you can check that address for any “confirmation” emails that you are expecting after registering with a given web page. As they say over here. No worries

And now, a few more what they say / what they really mean “translations”
