E-mail Hacked
 
All -

Some of you I have contacted off the board via e-mail. My e-mail address was hacked late last night or very early this morning. If you have an e-mail from me please disregard it. I apologize for the spam - hopefully I can get it back and under control.

I promise that I'm not in Wales UK and I don't need $2,000. Also, I don't have any hotel or taxi problems. :D

Again, sorry if you got an e-mail from me.

If I ever catch the SOB who did this... I'm going to request Chuck send him the 512 reasons to bring back the jump ball.

What makes you think it was Billy Mac?

My mom got this same type of email months ago. What's more, she owns an oceanfront cottage business, and her granddaughter lives in Wales, so she thought it was the real deal.

Woo..... thanks for the heads up TJ. I was just about to send you a check! Of course, in the tradition of the Forum, you can always just send us your account and PIN number..... :p

Sux though. Hope it's not too problematic for you. Good luck.

Nice place, Ninevah. Hell of a night life.

The "Bad Old Days". And don't forget, we had to walk to all of our games, in the snow, uphill, both ways. Some of those middle school girls games would still be going on if they didn't change from jump balls to alternating possession..

Sure they would. Officials would learn to let the girls play through 80% of those "held balls" rather than killing the play too quickly.

They didn't play through any of them. Before the gap occurred, these tie ups would usually involved at least 4 players and often 8 or 10. And often right after a jump ball.

I will say that, for the most part, around here anyway, girls are getting better at playing through these rather than both of them looking at me as soon as the defender gets her hands on the ball.

Wasn't that way in the 70's.

I was able to get my account back under control. Thankfully, I was able to get my contacts and several e-mails I needed.

If you need my new e-mail address, please send me a PM.
