I agree it is annoying, and I never said it didn't irritate me. :-) In this case, it was a Pro-Choice message, which in my mind is similar to what my spam filter catches, or the weekly adverts for low, low prices on beef at the supermarket that I use to start my grill. However, I understand that some people don't agree that it's basically spam and actually want to receive it. The censorship issue is definitely a slippery slope. I guess someone needs to start porting bogofilter to Java, so I can run it on my cell phone and only get messages I want. :-) -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
