    I tested deja to see how easy it is to get an account. It took less than
2 mins to set up and although you need to supply an email address, This is
not used as part of the sign up process. Your new username and password
become active imediatley.
    I cheked Jamiro's profile and "what a suprise" it was empty. Incidently
jamiro has only been posting on alt.memetics since 11/8/00. but since then
has posted on the 13/14/17/18 of aug. It looks like the account was only set
up a week or so ago.
