Dear Crabby,

I have changed my e-mail address at least 4 times in the past 3 years, and try to avoid signing up for things on the Internet, due to all the spam/ junk e-mails I get. I have also entered several of the spammers' names into my 'Block' list. I can't figure out how they keep finding me, and I am still bombarded by their messages. Any other suggestions?

SICK OF SPAM

DEAR SOS,

You know they will never stop, as long as I am, I mean they are being paid good money to send you those very important advertisements! Many people must collect e-addresses from 'forwards' and chat rooms to use. They are proud of the work they do. I know if they are forced to stop, Kyria Blotsom, Enrique Matthais, Klara Kamale, Keeya Leverett, Asthore Shay, Yen Gabrielle, Rhiannon Jamese, Skyler Collette, Perle Oleg, Marge Shashumba, Jace Beenbaum, and Dennis will be very disappointed.

DEAR CRABBY,

I have been reading the police report and have noticed they say no one is guilty until proven guilty in court. I can't help wonder if they really should put names in there beforehand, or wait until they are really guilty. We have argued about this all week at my house. Do you think this is fair?

NOT SO SURE

DEAR NOT SO,

Are you kidding? That's some of the best entertainment we get around here! Did you read the one where Stephen King quit writing scary stories and turned to a life of drink in Ketchikan? Or the dipstick that was about to be let go by the cops until he ticked them off? Instead of pouring out the beer, he kicks the can around and gets arrested. I swear, it's better than TV. Your kid gets busted shoplifting, so you make a bookmark out of her public report. Maybe she'll learn before she's old enough to actually have her name in there. Maybe not, and we'll have another read.

Famous Last Words: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" - or in our case: "To not read your name, better refrain". (And you? Were you caught wandering naked, window peeping again and you don't want your mom to know? How about 'Bear Calls'? I can't wait to see which bear gets it for drunk driving....)
