So all I have to do is E-mail (e-mail address removed) and I can get a Gmail
invite? Awesome.

erm yes, that's actually how they work currently. You cannot sign up, you
can only be invited. Once you are in, sometimes you get 6 of those
"invites" you can hand out to your friends. In order to invite them, you'll
need name, surname and an email address (where google-gmail will send the
invite to). Actually you can put in anything for the name's while the email
address is of course required, because there will be a special encoded url
to sign up sent to that.

I also have 6 of those invites left, so if someone is really interested to
try out gmail, send me your email address to "draxinusom (AT) gmail.com"
and I'll send you that invite thingy. You can give anything for your name
if you don't want to reveal your real name. I currently only have 6 invites
free so first comes first serves. Otherwise, the OP also offered them...

'they breed like gmail invites'?

Naaaah.. Does not quite roll
off the toungue. ;-)

[ Oh, and ..thanks, no. I already have one or
more email addresses attached to each domain,
and a yahoo from long ago, it's enough keeping
track of them. ]

hilz got the joke, guess it was missed by others.

He went to some lengths to prevent spammers from harvesting his E-mail address:
"hs underscore 74 at hotmail dot com".

I asked "So all I have to do is E-mail (e-mail address removed) and I can get a Gmail
invite?".

His mailbox on Hotmail is probably filling with offers for Viagra and pleas
from the wives of Nigeria Generals looking to move money out of the country as
we speak.

It sounds like a "yawn yet another scam to fish mail addresses" type of
answer to me. And still does.

Yeah and that's the main point that made me explain it a bit more verbose.
Because to scam a scammer has become a sport and making his obfuscated
email easy to be picked up by spam harvesters looks exactly like that.
Otherwise what exactly was the point of hilz answer except to deobfuscate
the mail address?

No it takes a while. Almost all Spammers scan only the headers but not the
bodies of usenet messages. But once the message appears on google's
archive, the web-spiders will find it and add it to their databases.

As much as i hate to answer this, and knowing that a lot of people are being
annoyed by it, i feel i have to answer since i started all this mess.

Dear Rene, you said:

let me assure you i am no scammer. i hate spam just as much as everybody
else.
all what i was trying to do is to give away some of the gmail invitations
that i have. Before i got an invitation myself, i was wishing for one, and
when i got it, i though there must be a lot of people on this news group
that would like to have one.

and dear Grant, you said:

god, how smart and sexy i feel right now!

and i still find your joke very funny.
You are so wrong, buddy, and that's what makes your joke funny.
This email address is not my primary one. and i use it to subscribe to every
other website that needs subscription. i check it only at times when i am
expecting something, like after i posted the OP.
and i never depend on it. in other words, your funny joke will have no
effect on my life what so ever !
so let's get over it and move on.
if you want an invitation, email me at that address, otherwise, let's end it
here!

cheers to all.

Almost all Spammers scan only the headers but not the
bodies of usenet messages.

So if I'd put (e-mail address removed) in arbitrary headers in this message (like "Reply-to", "Followup-To",
"Keywords" and "X-Scammer-scammed"), the scammers will pick his e-mail
address up faster than just having (e-mail address removed) in the message text?

(e-mail address removed) scribbled the following:

What does this have to do with Java?
