But that's horrendous - the whole internet will be peppered with even more
unnecessary emails. I was horrified when my newreader suddenly filled up
with every message from the mailing list. When I saw what was happening, I
though that well-known phrase, "You can't be serious..."

But if you've got win95 or Win98 you've got OEx. It's so easy. What you're
telling me is there are people out there with electric windows and they
won't use them because someone said it's sissy and it's better to stick your
head out of the sun roof. They can still drive, but it just makes life very
difficult.
