No, I wasn't. But on the issue of filtering first, this is of course what I have been doing for years. But noting that one poster has spammed the list with more than 25 articles in a span of about 24 hours and another has spammed the list with only a slightly lesser amount, accounting for two thirds of the total list traffic during that period, is worth commenting on. As for my "whining," you need to get some sense of reality. --Tim May, Occupied America "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759.
