OUCH! A warning....

Well, now...you know I have been working very hard at upgrading and promoting my website. I did something that I regret and STRONGLY advise that no sane person do.

I submitted my site to one of those "we'll submit your site to XXX searchengine" sites. I even paid for it. What did I get? HUNDREDS of "Thanks for signing up on my site--now, here is what I want you to buy from me", messages. Egods! (yes, I know that is not the conventional spelling, but that's what it means...)

I have spent half of my email time the last three days deleting this crap, and I am still getting them. Especially, do not sign up with the "Free For All" or "FFA" search engines. Nothing but spam get-rich-quick offers. You have been warned! ;)
