(As an aside, I am SO sick of technology not working, I'm about ready to
chuck it all in the lake. EVERYTHING, from corporate phone mail, to "tech
support", to cell phones, to email, to search engines DO NOT WORK reliably
or properly, period. Now I can't send email, because some 19-year-old
computer goober set a parameter wrong at my ISP! What next?)

I had to pull Jack Allison out of my ISP's spam filter site (Postini). His
e-mail was languishing in there for almost a week. It was pure accident that
I noticed his Intel (work) address one night, while I was deleting entire
blocks of "crud" from the quarantined message center.

("Nobody says crud anymore" - funny line from a recent cop show on TV).

We get about 300 spams per week. Those e-mails now get caught by our ISP's
spam-filter net. Like I told Jack, sometimes the tuna nets inadvertently
catch a dolphin or two.

I wonder how many other e-mails have been sent our way, only to be
"block-deleted" (by me!!) at our ISP's server?

Come to think of it Jay, you had to *Ping Montblack* a couple of months ago,
because our ISP filter blocked your address when you were trying to contact
us.
