It is your HO and you are welcome to it. I receive all the email I want. This is the only time anyone I know has said their email to me that has been rejected. Send me an email without an attachment from knology.net directly to me, not through shoptalk. We have two ISP,s available to us in this rural area, rrcnet and Earthlink. A friend in the business has Earthlink, he gets about a 100 spam messages a day. Now we all know there is no good spam filter. He office girl spends anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour a day just sorting through the shit. Sorry, I want no part of it. If nobody wants to forward the information that's OK. I am to old to get excited about anything, least of all about helping somebody in Nigeria get money out of the country or somebody trying to sell me penis enlargement pills. df
