I didn't say I like it. It may even be illegal in some juristictions for a ISP to do it without properly informing the customer and allowing them to opt in/out. Doing it to yourself however can't be illegal. In the end it is a tool and the method of deployment is often as important as whether you deploy it or not. It's a little like direct marketing via email. If you have consent of the party being emailed it isn't spam. If you don't have consent it is spam at least here in Australia. Other juristictions have looser guidelines. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org
