Uhh.... If I may ask, what's this in reference to? This is a message board dedicated to QBasic programming and related areas. You are currently in the "general board", where topics may range on anything, so long as they are not blatently offensive. Posting your mailing address like that in public is not an intelligent decision, by the way. Spammers use harvestors to find addresses posted in the public domain so that they may spoof your mail address to continue sending spam. Thanks to the Can Spam Act of 2004, you are also at risk of legal prosecution if you reside in the United States of America. This is because anyone whom a spammer uses to spread spam is at fault, whether the spammer's usage is known to the person or not. So, if you'd like I can remove the address, or change it so it can't be harvested. If so, you might take kind to thanking me as I saved you thousands in litigation fees

Posts such as these can be deleted immediately.
I.e. someone we haven't seen before [especially if not registered] making a post that doesn't further any discussion or ask some kind of useful or interesting question. Of course maybe I've missed something there, but use common sense.
Those that include email addresses are worst because they usually indicate the person isn't going to come back. And so you shouldn't waste your time on responses such as that.
On that issue, when emails are posted for legitimate reasons, they should be edited by mods to be spammer-resistant.
E.g. myname [at] hotmail [dot] ignorethis com

Yay, I learned stuff! I'll be sure to do that in the future.
