I was the first Francis Uy on the internet, with my first public postings back in the 1980s (no, I won't give you a link, go find them for yourself). These days there are dozens of us. If you are looking for a Francis Uy from California, Cincinnati, Ontario, or of course the homeland, I am not him.

I am the Francis Uy who likes Macs & comics, and who began fighting internet spam long before you even heard of it (hint: I was already in the game when Green Card happened).

Stop that Hoax!

Here is a handy rule to follow whenever you receive an URGENT WARNING that you should pass along to all your friends:

 IT'S FALSE!!!

Be warned that if you include me in any sort of mass email with an unverified story, I will do my level best to track down the source material and lambaste you if the tale is false. No exceptions! See also the net.bullies list.
