Wolfgang, I steadfastly refuse to be politically correct. And I refuse
to base decisions on other person's hearsay alone. My factual information
here is an apparent utter lack of email from .ro addresses that is not
malware or spam. On that basis it makes no difference to me how "nice"
the .ro people may be. *I NEVER SEE IT." So I suppose I am using a form
of <gisp> racial profiling. If it works I shall use it. I'm not a dumb
backend of a donkey who refuses to use what works because it is not
politically correct. (The British are losing some of their political
correctness I see. All it takes is a few "South Asian" kids with bombs
to change attitudes to match reality.)
