Taksim Square and Gezi Park in Istanbul are today the center of a new fight for rights and justice -- so your timing is spot on.<br /><br />Finally, may I propose that the typosphere adopt your rallying cry for a T-shirt: "No Typewriter Ever Violated Me."<br /><br />Rob in NYrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115499862681364911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-43909142012419427522013-06-13T03:07:28.084+10:002013-06-13T03:07:28.084+10:00These scumbags invading privacy, includes the gove...These scumbags invading privacy, includes the government right? They can't do anything about it, because they are too busy invading privacy themselves. At least in the USA and Europe they are, don't know (yet) about Australia.<br /><br />It's very sad that you fell victim to an online scam. You are right that these kind of people don't have any morals. Otherwise you would use the same technology to make things saver so private information doesn't get leaked. Some of these little scumbags are, by fact, very young people learning new tricks on their laptops without having learned the boundaries. Others sadly did grow up and continued the scamming and spamming... :-(Spiderwebzhttp://blog.spiderwebz.nl/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-59038734238496554802013-06-12T15:02:58.193+10:002013-06-12T15:02:58.193+10:00It doesn't matter how savvy we are, it is stil...It doesn't matter how savvy we are, it is still all too easy to get pulled into these things. We tend to trust other people, you know? I got pulled into a phishing trip that caught my bank account password by an email that looked, down to the logo and the language, just like what my bank would send. Fortunately I realized what i had done immediately and got things fixed before all $12 in the account was gone. But really, it can happen so easily. Hopefully i am wiser now.<br /><br />That cork platten - I am pretty new to this typewriter thing, but isn't that pretty unusual? Apparently it holds up. I wonder if it sounds different, or affects the look of the imprint for better or worse. Sure looks cool.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-388433412501258462013-06-12T14:07:55.547+10:002013-06-12T14:07:55.547+10:00Sorry you got hit.

These sort of criminals are disgusting (and that's coming from a former criminal defence solicitor who has met more than his fair share of murderers, rapists, and other miscreants). Shame on them.Raynoreply@blogger.com
