Apology to rec.aviation...

Sometimes I forget that this is a rec.aviation group and not for pros
like AvSig on CompuServe used to be when it was sponsored by ASI and
John G. ran it.

Still there are some here who have been there and done that and care to
share with each other and others.

But there are also those who think that playing with their Goggle all
day is a real world experience.

So I'm going to self-moderate by the simple mechanism of putting anyone
who asks for "cite" into the kill file.

I don't mung my email address or bother to reply to emails from those
who do. My reasoning is simple, I believe in quality like Boeing and
Macintosh.

I'll try to keep in mind that not all are professionals here.

Thanks to all,

Sounds very noble and forthright Ron...I used to think like that
a short few years ago when I first started out on here. I used to
have my email address in the open. The spam increased slowly till
it was about 40/50 spams a day...then it increased drastically
till at one time, in a 12 hour period, I counted 950 spam msgs.

This shut my email down completely, who can sift through a couple
thousand email chaff for the odd grain of wheat? I had to change
my address (which I had had for quite a few years). Quite
disgusting. I now munge. YMMV. Good luck in any case.

I was well over 100 spams a day, due to having multiple email addresses,
posting to the news groups a lot, and having a web site with hundreds of
individual pages, each with my email on it.

Changing the email addresses would have inconvenienced my
contributors/customers/suppliers/relatives/friends.

However, after some work and about $20 in expense, all but about 50 to 100
spams a day are flushed away and I never see them.

Of the ones I still get, the funniest are the ones supposedly from the
people who manage the email services for my domain. Since "I" am the only
one who manages my domain, I tend to be a bit suspicious!
