I concur. Kudos to Phil for all the hard work he's done, even in the absence of a dedicated C27 technical editor -- he supports the C270's and us older C27's with a smile! Thanks again, Phil.
I recognize that spam is a difficult problem, but honestly we get hardly any spam at all on our list. I spent far more time emptying my GMail spam folder than I do deleting the inadvertant spam that comes through IC27A. David (PS -- my father used to get over 500 messages a day to his inbox. He signed up for all the wrong websites, apparently!)
