Suzanne: You probably don't get a lot of email because you probably haven't signed up for much on Internet web sites -- or maybe you haven't your email address long enough for it to have propagated onto a lot of email spam lists.
I get more email than most people because I'm the administrator of my business's email server and it sends me any email that comes to loumag.com that isn't properly addressed to a current employee. Which means I get misaddressed email, email sent to former employees, etc. So my email -- and spam -- haul is somewhat exaggerated. Dan >Dan Crutcher wrote: >> Only slightly off subject ...
