If your IP is in the middle of a block of dynamic IP's you are fair game for me to block. The world experience is that Windows drones on dialups or cable/dsl are a major source of spam/viruses. Nothing distinguishes you from them. You get out of that mess by purchasing a fixed IP from an ISP that keeps track of non-dynamic IP's for all of our benefits. Nobody said this was easy or cheap. In Microsoft's plan there would be no room for you to make money. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
