Please ease up! I do not advocate this in general and I made the limited use very clear. If a local plumber with 5 employees uses this just for his business no freedom of speech or anti communication threads are at stake. You could probably block also 90% of the US and it would still work as expected. I educated them about limitations. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
