I once got a finely crafted spam with quoutes from the lists, which I read almost halfway before realizing that I was losing the thread far too often, and maybe not because of my logic unit being particularly slow that day... Maybe what we're seeing is an emergent behaviour of the Internet -- distributed intelligence that got lonely and bored and wants to chat? :-o I can't seem to think of a sane reason to send out messages full of garbage that have a chance of being deleted close to 100%. Doing that on a massive scale seems to me to be beyond any logic or reason. > > Kevin Kinsey [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2
