Course I'm a lot younger than you, I'm only 16 (birthday was on the 29th last) and don't remember none of that Vax e-mail stuff. My first computer was a Tandy TRS-80 Model I. But anyone sending e-mail into my inbox is doing that to me, private-like. Like coming into my home. I don't do forcing and entering and don't expect it from others. If others do that last, I don't take kindly to it, I give 'em the old heave-ho. I respect all them as uses my front door knocker, not them what bursts through the back one. P'ed off isn't the word. --Tonni 1: Someone who signs himself Brad and uses cheers *must* come from the antipodes 2: "G", please take note of the above object lesson in the use of the South-Eastern English language. -- mail: billy - at - billy.demon.nl http://www.billy.demon.nl _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
