My mailbox got a little more quiet for a while; periodically, I had a spammer's access dropped here and there, but now that I'm back on the list, I have another load of spam to deal with... Something needs to be done about it... -- drwho @ xnet.com, BOFH -- http://www.xnet.com/~drwho/ I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.
