But I do indeed filter, reject, and delete a lot of stuff. I obviously read your stuff. And I read Tina's messages. And I applaud her for being able to grind through a lot of the broken record stuff. What I'm saying is there is a lot of drivel and I don't have time to read repeated, ad nauseam, drivel. So I filter, reject, and delete. I have learned, very well, who is contributing, and who is just yammering. Wasted bandwidth is more than just a computer/Internet waste, it's a human mind waste as well.
