As the ListMom noted (above) a few members on our lists are using filtering services like cashette.com. This is not allowed on the QuadList or the PCI-PowerMacs list. Please remove the filtering service or unsub immediately. Secondly, if you are going to be "out of office" you must unsub from the list. With the holidays fast approaching this is advance warning that "out of office auto-reply" services will result in banishment. Then you will have to explain yourself before re-admittance to the list. We are not going to tolerate all the "out of office" messages during the holidays as in the past. -- Thanks, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quadlist and PCIPowerMacs Nanny -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
