Of course I did. There is no way that I could come to work on Percoset,the narcotic prescribed to me for pain. I might not find my way there. I have a terrible feeling about my posts for last week.

In my mind, I was replying to an Australian who had attacked my right to free speech,including references that he might find meaningful in an Australian context, to the famous Mackenzie speech. The URL points to everything else you might need to know to understand the references. > If you are truly interested in Hogarthian rigging the subject is covered in > detail on the WKPP web site.

No, but you also have the freedom not to listen! It works like this. All serious mail software has a filter capability. For historical reasons, this is often referred to as the killfile. So for instance, in Netscape Communicator 4.x (my choice of poison), there are mail filters, and mail folders. For each mailing list I belong to, I have created a folder (File->New Folder, in any Messenger Mailbox window). I also have created a filter (Edit->Mail Filters->New) called "techdiver", that says to take any incoming mail, and if the to or CC of the message contains "techdiver", the move to folder "techdiver". But I could also have a filter that if the sender field contains, say, "wrolf", that just delete it unread. You have QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0.1, which I believe to have the same features. -- Wrolf Wrolf's Wreck: http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf Wrolf's Net.Wreck: http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf/netmgmt.shtml -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
