If you realise how much space junk there is in orbit you will see this cartoon is amazingly accurate!

Wikipedia writes about over 170 million (6 zeroes)...I'm wondering if there is any space left to litter...

 Had to Google him. Sorry, a peaceful death would be way too good for him.

Personally I think that Sanford Wallace[^] is/was far worse.

Can't agree with you more. But Gary Thuerk was the one that opened the floodgates, so he also has a warm place reserved for him.

The way I look at it, Gary was the first to open the box and closed it again. He seems to have repented. Spamford Wallace has opened and closed it a few times, repented, relented and found a few more boxes and cans of worms to open.
Being the first isn't the worst.
... but it doesn't matter. I suppose we should properly wish ill on both of them.

Just looked him up on google, was shocked by his lack of contrition, saw that he was a 'marketing manager' and it all made sense from thereon in.
To quote what I found:[^]
"Interestingly, Thuerk himself isn't easy to reach. He doesn't publish his phone number or e-mail address and has an industrial-strength spam blocker. Thuerk prefers to receive e-mail from people he has cleared first."

At risk of sounding too political for the lounge can Mrs Reagan be regarded as the first female president of the United States??
|
|
|
|
|
In our family she was regarded as a real lady. Something that cannot be said of all our past First Ladies. She may have had significant influence over Reagan. Who can really tell? And President Reagan had an open mind when it came to considering the advice of other people. He knew and accepted his own limitations! This is one trait sadly lacking in some of the other Presidents.

Probably not, James A. Garfield and Woodrow Wilson were both medically incapacitated for extended periods of time; the latter also had persistent rumors of his wife running the show behind the scenes while he was in bed.
Which two Presidents were incapacitated for long periods while still in office[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Being a Brit, I was not aware of James A Garfield being medically incapacitated, I heard about Woodrow Wilson via the History channel

Yes, but the last time I used it was a few years ago. It worked well, but it wasn't the most user friendly. Other options are EaseUS Todo Backup or Aomei Backupper.

I can second AOMEI - I use it and it's damn good!
