By the way, I'm not sure from your .sig whether you even bother to
use Yahoo, but their spam filter is far far better now than about a
year or two ago. I only get a few, uh, interesting emails a day, and
some days none (at one point is was 10-20 a day).


Yep. I do actually look in there at least once a day. I signed
up during a transition [under pressure from competitors in the
"freebie so we can talk them into a paid account" email market],
the result of which, in short order, was that they improved their
spam filtering, increased the size of free account storage,
removed the trash and spam mailboxes from being counted against
the users storage ... ...

Nevertheless, I kept the sig in the faint hope that people would
send email to where I can use my preferred email client - I don't
really like yahoo but SVEN made me do it. Alas, the people who
actually look and figure out the ojiii and the comcast.net seem
to be few and far between. [For those that don't figure it out,
I forward their email from Yahoo to my comcast address, and still
use my preferred email client. ;-]

***CONNECTION LOST***


I first read this newsgroup (and many others) using tin... Brings a
tear to my eye thinking about it, no mouse, no light, no motorcar


Yeah. Lotta emotional pain the day I finally canceled my unix
shell account, abandoning tin, rtin, pine. But in all honesty,
I'd never go back. ;- Getting too lazy now that I'm fully
advancing into geezerhood.

Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast.]
