I see what you mean Geoff! say's he is a City Rail driver too! and I guess
by his tone, would need an anonymous address. But seriously an anonymous
address is usefull on this site, as you don't have to wade through the
garbage to get to the real messages, each time you open your mail. What
youdo is make sure the
idiots don't have your address!, then open the anon. one when you have time,
or need some recreation.
