We could cut all the morons off the internet, and go back to how it was before the public internet sprang to life... (Where it did what it was supposed to.) ;-) We'd have been better off if the yanks, and others, hadn't buggered up the .com TLD (commercial use). If .com was *only* ever used for commerical use, and using .com was enforced for commercial use, and we had something else for personal use, we could blanket delete all .com originating mail, and still receive all our non .com mail from our personal friends. ;-) NB: I'm not being entirely serious, before someone points out the flaws in that argument. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
