Mr. Vixie, Sorry you are spam magnet, but I like to read BoardWatch while taking a dump... been reading for years. TAKE their free copy, push them that 1 issue closer to bankruptcy. I pick option 5, after the full issue of BoardWatch dedicated to anti-spam. They are hipocrits <sp> with maybe Mr. Dixon's superiours possessing some of 2 and 4 combined due to the lack of training they provided him. 1 is too harsh and 3 can't comment on without further screen garbage coming across.

They asked me whether I wanted their free ISP directory. I said sure. They used this as an excuse to send me a free subscription which has been coming ever since. Good way to pump up subscriptions for those advertisers and yet still get most of their subscriber base to pay. I've also noticed that those free magazines ALWAYS (4 or 5 times now) conveniently lose your unsubscribe letter. allan PS. Is the f.root located in La Honda or Woodside? I noticed that 415 747 number.
