Clint, I sincerely hope you don't leave this List, your contributions would be sorely missed. Here in Oz, I rarely get more than 2 sp*ms a week since my ISP, tpg.com.au, installed filters for the first time - and didn't charge for the process! I use their lowest level of filtering, so they must have a really efficient/highly cognitive system. Obviously, you can't use tpg, but surely a similarly efficient filter must be available to ISP's in the US of A? I haven't had a chance to check Google yet, but TPG is a fairly big ISP by Oz standards and will almost certainly have affiliations to one or more IT companies in the US. It could be worth some investigation. I'm in the same decade as Anne Parker, but am much more intolerant!! So the arrival of tpg's filter system has been really good for my blood pressure! Very best wishes,
Jim, in sunny Brisbane, Oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 6:07 PM Subject: PCWorks: Sp*am thanks to this list!! > Well this is unbelievable.
