(Much of it fun stuff like the LUG...not actually "work.") Needless to say, I get a LOT of Spam in that mix. My favourite Spam (which used to really get to me when I was on a slow dialup and before I put it all in perspective) begins with "Look...we don't want to waste your time or ours..." It struck me after reading this the first few hundred times that as soon as I've got that line read each time, it is already too late...they have wasted my time...so I created a filter to send that stuff to my trashbox directly without my having to read it. (All hail the Gods of Eudora!) :) Don't sweat the small stuff....online for sure...it is ALL small stuff. Carpe Luminem, Michael E.
