Spammers don't read the newsgroups they spam. If you want to do something useful, read the headers, figure out whence the spam was posted, and complain to the administrator. Otherwise, save the bandwidth. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Cleveland, Ohio, USA http://www.mindspring.com/~brahms/ I don't need e-mail copies of posted follow-ups, but if you send them PLEASE identify them as such. My reply address is correct as is. The courtesy of providing a correct reply address is more important to me than time spent deleting spam.
