Did you get your (early) present? I sent you a wallpaper for your computer. Had trouble mailing it. I hope it got through.

Nope, haven't received it. Might help if it has an actual name to it and not a pseudonym...

Some people like to do nice things for people without being noted, appreciated, or even reognized for it. Anonymity (think: anonymous donations to charity) is not an evil thing. Not having "an actual name" attached to anything shouldn't devalue my effort. As you have noted, this your "paid presence" in the internet, and you are free to object to what others may choose do to, but all I will say is: it was a simple wallpaper made from the book you mentioned buying recently. Check your spam folder between January 30th and February 1st, ... if you are interested. If not, I will not be offended. "Random acts of kindness" are rarely accepted by the general public, despite the cries for an increase in their occurrence. I go in peace.

Duly noted. What you may not realize is that I've gotten three viruses in e-mails in the week of Jan 28-Feb 2 (I didn't open them, thankfully) that had gotten past my filter, along with a Trojan Horse that Morton caught and squished. Please understand, I am therefore justifiably paranoid. Your e-mail was not in the spam filter; there was only about twelve offers to sell me Viagra (what do they know that I DON'T??) and offers for millions of dollars from Nigeria. If you are willing to try again, I will keep a watch out.
