[mso] Re: OT Jan's sp*m program (was Corrupted Word Doc?)

Not being personal either, simply OT. I, too, understand the need to
chase/block/eliminate spam. And whether this system works or not, it simply
bothers me on a personal level. Essentially, this sort of system tells me,
the corresponder, that the correspondent blatantly values his or her time
more greatly than mine and are not interested in the value I place on my
own. So, I save my time and never authenticate with these systems.
