skeletonbow: Unfortunately, while "+" is a completely valid RFC compliant character to appear in an email address, many email mailing list systems or web forms and other things that parse email addresses are not RFC compliant and as a result these Google Gmail aliases do not work on many websites due to bad programming so if anyone decides to try this out - just a heads up that it may not work at some places. :)
Hey, a guy back in college working on a project "solved" the problem of possible code injections by disallowing any characters other than alphanumerics, "." and "@" in all the form fields on his page: (name, e-mail and whatnot). Such people later graduate and work on real projects...

My own e-mail zfr@XXXX.XX was rejected on several webpages for being... too short. Whatever that means.

Same here: rs@...
I believe someone thinks the minimum is 4 characters before the @.

Eat a snack!!

Sausage-Stuffed Potatoes
Serves 2

Ingredients-
2 large russet (baking) potatoes (preferably organic; 3/4 pound each, scrubbed
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon water, divided
3/4 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil plus additional for coating potatoes
1/2 slice firm white sandwich bread
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 pound bulk breakfast sausage (1 cup) or 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
5 cups salad greens (2 ounces)(we used arugula, which paired with the dijon sauce was deliciously kicky)

Directions-
Prick potatoes with a fork. Microwave, covered with a paper towel, on high power until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Cutting lengthwise, remove top fourth of each potato and scoop out centers (reserve for another use), leaving 1/2-inch-thick walls.

Whisk together mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon water, tomato paste, anchovy paste, and 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard.

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

Cook onion in oil with a pinch of salt in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, tear bread into small pieces, then soak in milk in a medium bowl until very soft. Mix in sausage, parsley, onion, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise sauce with your hands.

Divide filling between potatoes, then coat skins lightly with oil. Bake in a 4-sided sheet pan until sausage is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

While potatoes bake, whisk 1 tablespoon mayonnaise sauce with lemon juice, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon water, and salt and pepper to taste.

Remove potatoes from oven and turn on broiler. Spoon remaining mayonnaise sauce over filling and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly.

Toss greens with dressing and serve with potatoes.

Note- I would add another two sides to make it a complete meal......

But what if the user/spammer didn't post anything in forums? And how to find him in forums?

Ciris: Hi guys and gals!

We are working on two much requested improvements to the chat system:

CLEARING A CONVERSATION

BLOCKING ANOTHER USER

Our web team plans to implement these two options within the next 2 weeks.
Well 2 weeks are up today so I hope we will be seeing the two much requested features that were removed in the transition from the old PM system to Chat. If for some reason these features are not being implemented today then I would appreciate an explanation.

At the very least I expect some kind of response since the last we heard anything from you, the community manager was over a week ago. Since then it has been radio silence as usual and there hasn't been any update from someone in the web dev team either which you indicated in your original post. So much for more transparency in communication.
