At the bottom of your message, and for that matter every message that you send, there were these lines, using 147 bytes: > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

Google is the company that provides LUG service (because they pay my salary, out of which I fund the LUG). So I put a 153-character advertisement for my company's new product (which will help all of you spend more money on Leicas). I'd say we're even. The reason that the LUG filters eBay references is that I got tired of people advertising their own auctions. There is no rule against mentioning eBay.
