Wow, I don't know what you are doing wrong but my biggest problem is FWDs (chain letters; more annoying than spam, IMO) from friends and family and
companies that I have ordered from asking me to buy again.
I've had my first e-mail address (my primary, the one I use to sign up for everything) for 8 years and it receives less spam than the other two. The
only thing I do is go through and add spammers to my block list and remove myself from their mailing lists every few months or so. Today, so far, I
have received one e-mail and it was from something I signed up for on purpose.
I feel sorry for you. It must get really annoying to have to use a different e-mail address for each sign-up. Perhaps there is something else you
could do that is easier (obviously, I must be doing something right).
Maybe you guys should stop signing up at all those porn sites! Just kidding... Shall we get back on topic?

question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and
that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think,
free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer

Window Dressing
There is much to be said for simplicity such as low band width requirement or
else hotlinking to images hosted elsewhere. Classical art and old woodcuts
remain the standard of excellence. It all depends on wether you want to be
portrayed as Philosopher Kings _
School of Athens 1506 Raffaello Sanzio - click inage for full size -
or plodding twerps
Alchemist 1558 Pieter Breughel - click inage for large size -
a workshop _
Excellent old woodcut prints from the 1556 tome De Re Metallica by Agricola
alias Georg Brauer , on mine engineering , ore processing and metalurgical refinement.

There are some copywrited still life themes at this site _

Alchemist google images seemingly have a better selection _

What does this have to do with HCS? Are you suggesting we use these pictures on the site? And what does the trial by fire thing have to do with
anything?
You're not that strange, rabidly religious fellow from previous posts, are you? My apologies if I am thinking of someone else.

@ MagicJigPipe
Just window dressing, it all depends on your view.
I think it's in keeping with what woelen stated.
He manages his own site which is a good model.
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=10166&...
The HCS site appearance seems a bit kiddy to me as is.
This post is the best way to suggest changes or additions.
I have made contributions to other wiki's though seldom
placed where the moderator thinks appropriate.

Oh, okay. Well, thanks for the pretty pictures. But I certainly wouldn't let my kids do some some of the things on that site!
