No problems with bayesian filters here - OTOH, I ignore challenges from challenge-response systems, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Nothing is more annoying than somebody asking you for help, and then, when you answer him, getting "Please reply to this message to confirm" or "Click this link". (Well, there may be another, even more annoying thing - that is C/R systems that autosubscribe themselves to mailing lists, or C/R that challenges every poster to a mailing list). -- < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years. -- Horowitz's Rule ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
