This is a bogus question. There is no room for the word "apparent" here. To make that assertion you need to make a controlled test.

Give us the stats. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
