I should probably disclose that I have auto-learn enabled on my personal system and on those of my primary employer and it has been quite harmless, although I cannot say definitively that it is making a significant difference. The biggest strength I see from it is a steady stream of ham, which is hard to obtain otherwise. -- Bill Cole [email protected] or [email protected] (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
