I hadn't realized that people were still sending it. My objections are to the people who are still sending it, not to the people who are dealing with it on the receiving end. Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept and all that. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
