This seems rather a stretch -- it's sometimes used to mean this when discussing spam-detection algorithms, but it's hardly something people commonly use otherwise. > I'm all for removing the misleading, outdated expression for amateur > radio. Outdated...? The term "Ham Radio" seems a _lot_ more common than "Amateur Radio" -- for instance, Ham Radio seems to be heard quite often on the news (usually in connection with disasters), whereas, to be honest I can't say I've _ever_ heard the "Amateur Radio" used publicly. -Miles -- Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. -- Steven Wright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
