<sigh> Perhaps that was uncalled for, perhaps not. I still believe that
the single biggest mistake in the entire history of the Internet was made

consideration of who might be infesting the thing.
Anyway... God keep you, Jon. I, for one, will still do my darndest to kick
anyone who spams me off the face of the 'net... permanently!
