Igor,

I think I understood your meaning, and I'm not in favor of placing any 
blame on the posters in this matter. As I mentioned in my earlier reply 
to David Sheridan, I assumed from the beginning that he had no control 
over that disclaimer.

I was really curious if Chris has a way of detecting and filtering out 
the disclaimer text itself, leaving the message content intact, which 
is what his single-sentence posting seemed to suggest he was *so* 
tempted to do.
