Well, both you and Paul dislike my idea. But, I don't see that this
suggestion is any form of censorship, more akin to replying from the wrong
email realm and being rejected as a non-subscriber. I've done the latter,
get the message, adjust my settings and fire it off, again.
There have been several null subject posts lately, and digest isn't much
better.
I still would like to see my idea tossed around.
