 As Jay mentioned - I'm not altogether sure that these messages from folks
are a Bad Thing - it never hurts to have 'fresh' sources for collection
related possiblilties.

  Recall that the PDP 11/44 system I own was rescued from a Big
Corporation (and certain death) due to the ex-sysop finding classiccmp
quite by accident.

  Now, in the case of blatant commercial exploitative type ads, or spam,
then of course it should hopefully be diverted to /dev/nul. But I think a
little tolerance shoyuld be shown for folks who are just researching parts
and systems - at least we can be polite in our explanations.

  And yes, these type of "I was searching for X and found your site.."
messages *do* seem to come in waves... I dunno...


 Cheers

John
