Diemai, I know about that option. In any of the e-mail notifications I get frof TU, there is an option about not receiving notifications anymore. But I want to receive such notifications, even though some of them are late by as much as one week or so.
If someone wants to introduce himself, he can use a thread in the "All aboard" section of the forum. In the hardbaits forum, there were 2 threads in the past in which each one could introduce himself. I do not remember anymore what would be the key words to make a search for those 2 threads.

Diemai,
I receive enough mails in my e-mail address (at yahoo) which are automatically directed into the bulk folder. If this has something to do with my account at photobucket or not, I do not know. I guess not. The only thing I have to do when I do not want to read an e-mail from someone that I do not know anything about, is to delete it. I do not know why, but the notifications from TU that someone has replied to a thread I have suscribed to, also appear in the bulk folder.
Here in Romania the fishing is closed now for 2 months (April 14th-June 12th). The only kind of fish you are alowed to fish for is pike now, but only with lures, so not with a real fish. At least in Romania, the pike spawns at the end of February and begining of March.

Diemai,
I am sorry to tell you that I do not know much about computers as well. I could not post pictures in the forum because I did not know how. That was until Hazmail has learned out how to do it and he also opened that thread in which he explains to the others how to post such pictures.
I followed the steps he showed in his thread, and I was surprised that it worked. I remember that I could find a simpler way to do it. If I remember well, he said he selects the second option of link (he makes it blue) out of the 3 which each picture in the photobucket has below it. Instead of that, I simply clicked on the second link (I do not remember if I clicked once or twice) and a window appeared saying that the link was copied. I then went to the post I was writing, and I could paste the link, and then the photo appeared in the thread.
What Hazmail does not seem to know, is that the maximum width of the photo should be 640 pixels, otherwise the width of the thread itself increases, and you cannot read a whole line of text unless you use the arrows on the bottom of the page. It is very unpleasent to read such a text in which you have to use the arrow to read the whole line to the right, and when you finish, you must use the other arrow,to the left, to be able to read the begining of the next line of text.
To resize the picture to the size I want, I use Adobe Photoshop software. I use alot this software, even though I think I can use only about 20-30% of its possibilities, and that's because I make crankbaits using the printing foil technique.
About the spam mails, I can tell you that I have received none in more than a year now, since I have opened up an account with photobucket, com. I do not know anything about "fake e-mail address".
Here are some of the crankbaits I made, and I posted on photobucket.com almost 2 years ago. Since then, I did not post any of my new ones:

Checked out your submissions to the gallery and I am quite impressed! I like the Heidy's (I know them as Roach's). I was planning on making some of these when the Ludela's are done. The painted stripes method you created with O-rings was ingenious...............

Danke!
Damit die fangen, müssen bestimmt nicht so pingelig gebaut werden. Da reicht einfach...von der Farblackierung her, könnte man noch einiges machen.
Ich arbeite auch nur mit Spraydosen, da ist man eingeschrenkt...Farbübergänge usw.
Beechwood, schreib ich bei den nächsten dazu...

instead of the closure and loop what about a smaller plastic bead with one side sanded down flat, should be possible to hold the bead down with a piece of wire trough the hole and use a dremmil (hobby drill) with sanding bit i use beads down to 2-3mm tying flys... just a thought keep up the good work, may try one of these myself when i get chance
