Well, I feel inclined for a little self-defense here.  I didn't 
sign up for this anti-spam program until early December.  I tried 
to put every regular correspondent into the approved senders list 
(MSO was there, I missed ABC, not because I didn't think it was 
valuable, just missed it!)

I assume that anyone who doesn't want to take the time to respond 
can just hit "delete" like we do with list posts that aren't on 
topic for us. It's my responsibility to check the "unapproved 
sender" list and approve the legitimate ones that reside there.

I don't belong to any other lists of this type, and have never been 
removed from any list, so whoever this other person was, it wasn't 
me. :D

I do appreciate the discussion - it's made me aware of some aspects 
of this type of service that I wasn't before, and may consider a 
different vendor in the future...but my sins aren't quite as deep 
as stated....

Best regards,

Jan
