Larry's Office Page

Hi. I'm Larry Gilbert, senior software engineer for N2H2, best known for a couple of little products called Bess (not to be confused with the other Besses) and Searchopolis. If you're looking for my personal stuff, you won't find it here; you'll have to go see my home page.

Feel free to send me e-mail. (Please note that any spam sent here is trapped by SpamCop and reported without hesitation. Problem spammers may also be sued and held liable for $500 in damages per message under Washington state's junk e-mail law.)

My sub-pages

• Rumor Control -- If you get a chain letter describing an e-mail virus or a way to win money, read this!!
• Collected Assorted Geek Humor
• Anarchy in the USA -- Budding anarchists express their opinions
• Alternative Microsoft Support -- Time-saving support site with the same level of service you've come to expect from Microsoft

Junk e-mail? %#&@*%!!

If you hate junk email (a.k.a. "unsolicited commercial email," "UCE," or "spam") as much as I do, have a look at these:

• SpamCop -- Excellent, excellent service that takes much of the guesswork out of figuring out just who to complain to when you've been spammed. It can even be used as an e-mail filter, making reporting spam a semi-automatic activity.
• Attorney General of Washington, Consumer Protection Division Junk E-Mail Info -- Junk email containing falsified headers is illegal in Washington state
• FTC's "Dirty Dozen" Bulk E-mail List -- The 12 scams most likely to be propagated via spam; it comes as no surprise that business opportunities and bulk e-mail services top the list
• spam.abuse.net -- loads of information, tips, and links to software to help you on your anti-spam quest
• CAUCE -- the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email, a group promoting anti-junk-email legislation
• The real Spam® -- and someday, hopefully, the only Spam
