I have not gotten more than 1 or 2 spam messages per month since I switched to Gmail. I would say the problem has been solved. I do not know if Gates contributed to the solution. I do not think it is fair to call Hekman's messages "spam." He (or a volunteer) sent them to people here because he knows we are interested in cold fusion. He is not advertising a product or service. Spam is sent indiscriminately to people who often have no use for the product being advertised. Hekman has done good things for cold fusion. I think we should thank Hekman for his past and present support. I would not support him politically because I disagree with his other policies, but I appreciate his work. I hope that people here do not get him in trouble with the Robots at Google, a.k.a. our new computer overlords. - Jed
