While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 10. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.
Your current Gulch score:
I read- Not only do they read the sender and recipients name, but the contents. Nothing read is deleted. They claim that data is not traceable to individuals. (!)
So as of just now I'm a paid member!! Feels good!
I like knowing the posts being highlighted so I can support them...missed that today.
Also, if you haven't seen Snowden, you really should....
Request a showing or at least be notified of a showing in your area.

I rent a server for my email but it does require some technical setup there. Depends on your level of tech knowledge and what you use the net for. I have several websites and multiple domain names (e.g., http://galtsgulch.com) and set up email like I do. (I use a2hosting in Ann Arbor MI.) It's not particularly difficult but it does take some learning if you have never done it and I suspect it's not as easy for someone who is not web savvy. For example, my business partner is a genius with electronic circuits but shies away from any web page set up tasks. (He uses gmail;^)
Right. Some business decides to abruptly change some rule and it is up to the effected customers to figure out why something is wrong now. This type of tactic is being used as a weapon.
I kicked it out and made MS Edge my default browser.
But you still need to have a software to remove all the unwanted Google ads popping up: they are like pests, difficult to get rid of.
Anyway, now it's all fixed. Until the next time :-)
Interesting how convenience and ease insinuate them into one's life.
