Perhaps you might consider this issue from another angle. When you consider the number of person-hours spent dealing with SPAM, you could see that, cumulatively, there are many hours wasted on unsolicited and undesired emails. And, while each instance may be a matter of seconds or minutes, over a

Geez, the nerve of some people :-) If I'm not mistaken, there have been all too many international efforts to advance this TORPEDO protocol. Several years ago, there were several Germans who took the lead in this field with some similar efforts from several Japanese. Eventually, th

Hmmm, I think the federal government might have another opinion that topic, re: Waco, etc., but this is far off the topic. It's an idyllic viewpoint, though. But I'm afraid we're at the point in history where the phrase "a life of freedom in the United States" is an oxymoron. And, if Carnivore isn
