So I looked at what the cat drug in: Here's an idea -- why not use whatever you use to filter things into your cypherpunks mailbox to first filter out anything from people you don't want to read instead of whining to everyone on the list about how much they send that you don't want to read? -- J.

Then you got lucky. Lots of people are asked/required to make a phone call for various reasons. Many DTV features require a phone connection.

They never use, say, purple and orange, almost always red and blue (and green, I think for independents). I'm not sure, but I think GOP has always been red and Dems have always been blue. -- J.
