Roger, any point east of California is out east to some!

Point taken:-))

One thing that has changed...my posts are showing up right away...they
often take as long as 12 to 24 hours on some of the newsgroups.

I'm only getting half of my normal allotment of SPAM. Sliver lining and
all that.

Ur right...it is down...Only 48 so far and almost all of those were
filtered out. It's usually about 60 a day for the past couple of
months....

However if you want spam to go down you need to shut the power off in
Florida, not the NE.

BTW, virtually every post tonight has been hit send, refresh and I
find it. Refreshing.

I've been told that much of the telemarketing business is located in Toronto,
which was affected by the blackout. Wonder if it's a big center for spam
generators?

Indeed, it's guesses that 90% of SPAM now originates offshore, with Canada,
China and Brazil being the worst players.
