for posting rather than their own domain...   BJ

I've been on low carb too long.  It'd be much nicer for a news story to
find someone who loses quickly (I would think anyway).  I'm losing slowly
because I've less to lose than I once had.  However, if you want to do an
article on low carb and biking/lifting weights, let me know.

Should anyone here decide to respond to this inquiry...

PLEASE.

Do not give out any personal information (real name, address etc.)
UNTIL you have a real name and phone number from a real newsmagazine and
can verify it.

Call them back.

Check the credentials and ask for ID.

Be cautious.

Any dummy should know that a "national newsmagazine" of any repute
would *never* operate with a hotmail address! But then, there are
those who are extra dumb...

Not so, regular email accounts are a big pain in the butt for businesses who
have the problem of filtering out all the spam and viruses without missing
any valid mail.  Haven't you noticed that many business sites require that
you submit mail to them through a web interface?  Using a disposable hotmail
address for a one-time project makes a lot of sense.

That could be so. My bad. It hasn't always been that way, for sure.
Most reputable companies want to instill confidence in their
prospective customers so they maintain their own domain including
webmail. Personally, I won't do business with anyone using a hotmail
address (because they *are* disposable) unless it's on ebay and they
have a very good seller rating. YMMV.
