I didn't get it either, I'm assuming Barracuda got it, although I haven't figured out yet why some perfectly innocuous things get picked up and others, clearly spam, don't. Carol Carol L. DeVolder, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of Psychology St. Ambrose University 518 Wes

I never got the post either. My university filter must have gotten it. My spammers have learned how to deal with such blockers long ago. They send messages entitled "hows your mom?", and "hears the info you requested." Ken --- K

Hi Tipsters (I’m resending the message without the telephone number to avoid spam filters): I think that the website GetEducated.com does a good job searching for diploma mills (please correct me if I’m wrong), and they offer good advice to detect this programs. Maybe some of the tipsters will be

RE: [tips] diploma mills

I think the phone number in Scott's original post is an identified spam number (try googling it) and Beth's message got through because she deleted it. By the way, the number for outside the USA is the same as inside the USA except you dial "+1" instead of "1". How do you do that? Bill Scott

OhOh, I don't have anything in my junk mail folder so it must have been deleted by the university's filter before it ever got to me. Sigh. But then why did Beth's mail get to me? Can someone fill me in. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D. Professor, Psychological Sciences University of San

Re: [tips] diploma mills

I think it's kind of funny that Scott's first post as well as the replies (including mine) ended up in my Spam filter, no doubt because of its title, "diploma mills." But I want to educate the Spam filter that a "real diploma mill" wouldn't be likely to call itself such. Anyhow, unless TIPSters a

The "Phishbucket" website referred to it as "We Can't Spell University" two years ago, when their ad was even worse. Looks like they fixed most of the spelling errors since then: http://www.phishbucket.org/main/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=3506

I thought some of you might be amused/disturbed/horrified (pick one) at this message that ended up in my spam filter today. I do at least hope that life is not "to short" to learn how to spell correctly or to learn proper grammar. I haven't tried calling the number, but I sure am tempted.

Re: [tips] Take this test

It is true, Pierre Trudeau was pretty awesome, and would have made a much better president than any of the actual office-holders with whom he has to deal (Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan), but I don't think he ever actually made it to the presidency of the US. :-) Chris Green = O

"the new guy on the list seems to suggest that memory tasks are restricted and not appropriate to the learning and performance tasks" That's not what I was suggesting. Although I believe the stroop test is commonly used as an attention test and not a memory test, that is irrelevant to my poin

RE: [tips] Atheism and Knowledge About Religion

I got them all correct. I wonder how I'd do on the 32-question version (that's what Pew actually used, I think). I suspect I'd do well. My atheism isn't responsible for it, though: as others have mentioned, it's education -- but I'd add also paying attention to the news. (And yeah, I was a
