Especially since it is hard to find any klingon puzzles on the internet. Could someone possibly make a kenken or kakaru klingon puzzle?

Thank you especially for responding is such a forthright manner ("we do not send e-mail to customers who have not consented to receiving promotional e-mail") because it allows me to unequivocally state that it is a falsehood. I know because I never consented to receiving promotional email. I challenge you to provide my confirmation of subscribing to your list. Without confirming your email list subscribers you <em>are</em> spamming. On your other point: Yes, some email lists, even some spammers, do honor remove requests. But without the ability to read email headers and research things like rDNS records, the average email user has no way of knowing who these (few) are. Hence, it is never advisable for most users to use any "remove" or "unsubscribe" links. Furthermore, it it should never be incumbent on the spammee to request removal from a list they <em>didn't ask to be on</em>. Never. Mwave.com's selection of a known spam-friendly host like xo.com speaks much louder than anything else about their email policies. Thanks for responding.

Our occupation has become very complex because of the tremendous and rapid changes in technology. In the old days, Kodak and other firms actually answered the telephone and had sales reps visit studios with their latest offerings. Thanks for taking the time to help other photographers.

I receive hundreds of linkable emails each day and closing a tab each time is annoying. Tab Mix Plus seems to fix it on Firefox. Just started using it, but right off I see three configurable tab settings, so be sure to configure it correctly. Good luck. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Found a add in that works in Firefox, forces links to open in the same tab.
