I don't mind a little OT chatter. The difference for me is that this 
thread comes under grouping of SPAM.

The 'proof' (to me) is in my home brewed de-spamming software. Yesterday 
Scott sent me an e-mail directly. Said e-mail was still in my INBOX this 
morning. Every morning at work I run the de-spammer program. Scotts 
e-mail received 21.70 points. It only takes 7.0 points and above to be 
deleted. False positives are near nil. My code has deleted 3164 spam 
messages, and maybe 6 non spam since March 29th. Given my personal 
action to remove SPAM, I hope you can understand my view point of this 
thread.

Oh, and for those that noticed. I DELETE items marked as spam. Its a 
draconian approach to a growing problem. I don't delete white listed 
people or companies.

Anyway, I've now filtered this thread to be deleted. On Netscape, that 
really means, 'move it to the Trash folder and mark as read'.

Enjoy.
