Don't know if this'll make it to the list or not - last time I tried I
got refused because of that ORBS crap. If it does, maybe my ISP fixed
whatever was wrong. Last time I got refused, I couldn't make heads or
tails out of the message I got. The URL I was referred to didn't help
a bit either. If their gonna crap on me, I wish they'd at least give
reasonable explanations on those pages - I thought it was something *I*
had done here on my system ... for that matter I'm still not sure.
Though I guess that if this makes it to the list it's somewhat a moot
point? Maybe? I'm confused ...
