A good description of the realities of the free-market commerce model and, despite the sleaze aspect, I wouldn't want it any less free. It's a "rough with the smooth" scenario.

Not in the least. It was a great post! I said nothing because it was pretty much a very clear description of the "Sherlock" method I have used to filter spam here for a long time. Okay, I have no auto-responders for spam because I get a lot of support email out of the blue and have to fish a "help me" message from the spam-bucket every other day. Other than that, it makes much more sense than any fancy Bayesian or RBL system and is at least as (if not more) effective. ##Go Mike!!## ;-). - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/10 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies. iQA/AwUBPumfFDnkJKuSnc2gEQLOMgCdGEIGZS8P+TBmcoIsSu68XfJLlT0An10B yMykOdYAJyZNme2efMwkQpkh =rISD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
