FWIW I Delete on timezones, with much use of whitelists; the're frustrating, the way that they zig-zag about, and the way that Daylight Saving is a movable feast, or not used at all. Out of curiosity I'm filtering on individual timezones, and out of the last 1600 Deletes +0900 topped the lot. I have Accepts -0300 to -0900, 0000 to +0200 (0000 because I'll forget gmt) for various reasons, so they don't feature. .ru and .ch have their own Deletes.... +0900 114 -0060 89 +0300 80 -0200 65 +0800 38 +0500 21 +0400 20 +0480 19 +0600 19 +0700 13 -0100 9 -0120 9 +0360 7 +1000 3 As you say, not a good idea on their own, but with careful whitelists they work for me :-) -- E.Mark Jolliffe www.poppy-land.co.uk
