Perhaps Michael's post was simply to suggest that mail filters be activated
to deal with the endless stream of SPAM that we all get? A good suggestion,
I believe! I certainly use that method lest my entire inbox would be
consumed by mail that I never asked for, never wanted, never read.
I do NOT believe, however, that snarky responses are in order on this
discussion list. So, let's not do it! End of discussion.
Thanks,
Trish
