To be truthful, I don't mind the spam so much -- essentially because there is not as much as one might dread. But the problem is the impunity with which the same folks feel free (perhaps even obliged) to send us unwanted love letters over and over again -- while we just do nothing except ignore the spam. Perhaps there should be a vote on this, and if the ayes > the nays, we should make the change long overdue. -- Tx and Regards, Manish Jain
